Office of Community Relations
The Office of Community Relations plays a critical role in helping the school district reach its goals by clearly and accurately explaining the complexities of public education to diverse audiences and by creating links between the school district and the Saint Paul community.

Through a variety of electronic and print communications tools, special events and video productions, Saint Paul Public Schools families and employees receive timely information about new issues, challenges and accomplishments.

Some of the departments responsibilities include:
  • disseminating information on various activities of the school district to parents, staff and students,
  • providing feedback to the district on important matters reflected in the media, and;
  • mediating conflicts through the Office of the Ombudsperson.
 Our goals include:
  • building awareness and support for the important work being done in our schools,
  • developing new and enhance existing community partnerships, and;
  • communicating to parents, partners and constituenties the academic advantages of an SPPS education.
