A topic that every school communicator will deal with at some point is the death of a student or staff member. No matter what the cause of death may be, you might be wondering if you should share anything on social media. Listen in to a thoughtful perspective from Josh Burnette, who dealt with three different tragedies in three different ways on social media during 2021.

IN THIS EPISODE, JOSH SHARES:

• His unique path into school communications, which included seven years in the ministry
• How he has used social media to communicate when student deaths have occurred
• What is the most important response he looks for when sharing tragic news
• How he stays on top of his many job responsibilities as a one-person communications department in a school of over 11,500 students.
