Records Requests & Archival

Public Records and FOIA Laws across the U.S.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) affords the public the right to request access to records from federal agencies–including schools supported by local tax dollars and elected officials. This includes social media communications, which schools must archive to ensure compliance.

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.
