CMSD Communications
The CMSD COMMUNICATIONS Office is the hub of all internal and external communications in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, where timely and effective communications and community engagement is a team effort.
Members of the CMSD Communications Team work cooperatively with all departments to keep students, parents, staff, citizens and news media informed of activities, events, strategic initiatives, opportunities for partnership and engagement and progress in our schools.
Our News & Information Team works in concert with our Marketing & Advertising Team to provide district-wide support for schools and departments messaging through print, web, traditional and social media, writing, photography, direct mail and digital video communications.
