Best Practice: District Encourages Connection through Facebook, Twitter

Reprinted from CommLINK

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is providing new ways for the community to stay connected to the district through the social media outlets Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook users can become a fan of Cypress-Fairbanks ISD on Facebook to browse important news, updates, and photos from the district.

Twitter users can subscribe to the feed CyFairISD to receive information through their Web browsers or on their mobile devices through a third-party Twitter application. While other unofficial Twitter accounts may contain the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD name or logo, the official district account can be distinguished by the “In the Loop and In the Know” graphic.

By diversifying its communication outlets, the district plans to reach a larger group of stakeholders who receive their news in a variety of ways.

Direct links to both sites are available on the district homepage at www.cfisd.net. Cypress-Fairbanks ISD joins a growing list of Texas districts on Twitter.
