Press Protocol

**Attention Members of the Press:

To ensure the safety and privacy of our students and staff, please contact the Communications Department @ 936-435-6397 to obtain clearance BEFORE going onto, or into any of our campuses, or district facilities.  We will be happy to help coordinate access and/or interviews for you.  

The media/press should submit all requests for information, stories or interviews in advance to Shannon Hollis, HISD Director of Communications, via email to shollis@huntsville-isd.org. She will facilitate the coordination of all requests to allow for adequate notification and appropriate response time.  Our administrators and teachers are extremely busy during the school day and we will not interrupt their schedules or their time dedicated to instruction.  Submitting your questions in advance helps to speed up the process, allowing the District the necessary time to identify and locate appropriate personnel to respond as well as provide them with the opportunity to review the inquiry and formulate factual and informative responses in a timely manner.
