Communications Resource Kit

This Communication Resource Kit was compiled by the Red Bank Charter School as part of the Red Bank Charter School’s Dissemination Grant. The Red Bank Charter School Board of Trustees, administration and project staff hope that this kit will serve as a vehicle to encourage other charter schools to expand their public relations efforts and share the good news of charter schools in New Jersey.
