Hot Comms: Navigating School Legal Challenges with Confidence

Legal challenges, crises, and scandals are unfortunate but inevitable for schools. At Class Intercom, we call these “Hot Comms”—high-pressure, high-stakes situations that require quick, composed responses. When legal issues arise, their impact can be mitigated with the right communication strategy. Schools that consistently share authentic stories and build a strong reputation through proactive social media are better prepared to face these challenges head-on. Class Intercom helps schools stay ahead by empowering them to tell their story and maintain community trust when hot comms strike.
