Media Relations & Requests

All media requests should be directed to contact the Public Information Office (Communications) Department. 

• If you are staff member seeking publicity or promotion for a program, event or service, contact Chief Communications & Marketing Officer LaTasha Johnson at (302) 552-2670.
   
• All requests for information from members of the news media must be directed to the District’s Chief Communications & Marketing Officer. Christina employees will not comment on behalf of the School District, nor provide information regarding the Christina School District without first receiving authorization from the Chief Communications & Marketing Officer or Superintendent of Schools. 
   
• Members of the press will be permitted on school grounds only if prior arrangements have been made with the building principal, Superintendent of Schools and/or the Chief Communications & Marketing Officer. Students are never permitted to be interviewed without explicit parental consent either verbally or in writing. CSD and parent/guardian permission must be secured before students can be interviewed, photographed or filmed by media representatives. Visitors from the press must be accompanied by a staff member at all times.
   
• Media covering sporting events will not need prior approval as long as they are only present for that event and are not reporting on other items.
   
• The Public Information Office should be notified of a school event that is of public interest, a month in advance, to allow adequate time to increase the likelihood of media coverage.
   
• All media representatives (radio, newspaper, television, etc.) should be referred immediately to the Public Information Office. Email or call LaTasha Johnson at latasha.johnson@christina.k12.de.us or 302-530-2157 (mobile).
