Media

If you are with the news media and would like to cover an event at an RETSD school or gather information for a story, our communications department can assist you by arranging interviews and/or providing information. The department can be reached at 204.667.7130 or communications@retsd.mb.ca.

ACCESS TO PROPERTY

Principals have the authority to decide whether media will be permitted on school property. Our communications department can help the media in this regard.

AVAILABILITY

We understand that as media, you may have a deadline, and our communications department will try to help you meet that deadline. However, we ask that you understand it may take several hours to determine the most suitable person to be interviewed and arrange the interview. Our administrators and teachers are busy people who make educating our students their first priority.

MEDIA CLEARANCE

To comply with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, our principals and/or teachers must first ensure students have parental consent before they are interviewed, videoed, or photographed by the media, in accordance with Policy KDDB—Media Coverage, Copyright Permission. If you are covering an event at a school or gathering information for a story, please request permission from the principal or teacher before interviewing, videoing, or photographing any of our students.
