Data and information for the study were gathered through a four-page questionnaire distributed through the State Department of Public Instruction to a 11 public information officers in the various school units. Based on an analysis of the data generated from the questionnaire, the following findings were reported: (1) 135 of the 142 public relations practitioners in the school districts meet the educational standard of at least a bachelor's degree. This standard was established by the National School Public Relations Association. (2) Emphasis in the district level programs is on external publics. The five most frequently reported program areas being implemented by the school districts, include news releases, special brochures, a school calendar, photography, and programs for community groups. (3) The role of the State Department of Public Instruction, as defined by the school systems, is to provide a constant flow of information to the schools and to provide workshops and staff development.
