Telling Our Story
Media Guidelines
Clarkston Community Schools welcomes members of the media into our schools and strives to provide the most accurate and timely information available.
Interview REQUESTS
Please contact Director of Marketing & Community Relations Kelly Allen at 248.623.5460 or via e-mail at klallen@clarkston.k12.mi.us if you’d like to arrange an interview Clarkston Schools educators, administrators, or Board members.
Filming on Campus
If you would like to visit a school or the district office, please contact Director of Marketing & Community Relations Kelly Allen at 248.623.5460 or via e-mail at klallen@clarkston.k12.mi.us. Please be prepared to outline the nature of your request and a few dates and times that work with your schedule.
Photographing Students and Staff
Some students choose not to be photographed. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) allows students and parents to opt out of the release of certain information about students, including photographs, and Clarkston Community Schools operates in compliance with this law. Before we can allow anyone to take photos, video and/or quotes from our students, a school administrator or the Director of Marketing & Community Relations must confirm.
