2. As stated in GP-5, the Board President generally serves as the official spokesperson for the Board. However, under special circumstances the Board may elect to appoint a different spokesperson for the Board.
3. A Board member who receives calls from the media should notify the Superintendent, Chief of Staff, or Director of Communications.
