- From the moment I looked at Downingtown Area School District’s social media pages, I knew I needed to feature the brilliant people behind their social media storytelling! Today, you’ll meet Jenn and Allison.
- Learn how Jenn added a communications manager role to her district of 13,0000 students in 2022 so they could focus on the day-to-day stories happening in their 16 schools.
- How do you grow your Instagram followers? Allison will share her insight—and you must check out their Instagram page!
