SCHOOLS
Schools can post their calendar of events, sports scores, PTA meetings, activities and any other type of public information. This can become very important when there are emergency school closures. Each teacher can be given their own web page for posting homework assignments, or any other information to students and parents from anywhere.
The citizens of the community all gain. The web page and hosting is provided free of charge to the city, and to any public agency or nonprofit organization.
This is another example of how local news and information can be obtained directly from the major source. The schools, mayor, police department and other city agencies can report public needed information directly to special sections on the web site. These special sections can be added with no limitation. The more, the better – It gives more reason for visitors to come to the web site – More visitors = greater revenues – The officials, community and advertisers all gain.
A button is created and linked to a page for each public official. Each page has its own built-in editor to upload information, including pictures and graphics. Each official can post whatever information they deem to be of public interest -- such as road closings, street repairs, school closings, accidents, police alerts, community activities, special dates, etc. They each have their own private upload code. By posting the information directly, the officials don't have to worry about editing by news departments. Posting the information directly makes the information available immediately.
This form of disseminating information is even more valuable and important in small communities where there is no local daily newspaper or television station.
