ALL communication with the media must be coordinated through the Office of Communications, whether it be written, verbal or electronic. IDOE staff may discuss matters or share information relevant to their area(s) of expertise with the media ONLY after the Office of Communications has been notified of the initial contact and permission to proceed has been granted. Exceptions to this policy include cases in which an IDOE staff member has been listed as a contact on a news release distributed by the Office of Communications. In these cases only, employees may discuss matters pertaining to the release with the media seeking prior approval. Call (317) 232-6611 for more information.
