What process has been established for the MDE to communicate with school districts?
Answer. The Public Relations Office is utilizing all available means of communication including, e-mail, phone, radio, websites, television, to provide extensive communication to school districts and the public. The MDE has established a “Hurricane Katrina Disaster Page” on the Department’s website which is updated daily with current information. The web page includes a link for “Communications to Districts” for the MDE to post current information. Go to “Communications to Districts” and select “Letters and Memos for Districts” to view the list of posted memos and letters.
