Media Guidelines

Lapeer Community Schools welcomes members of the media into our schools and strives to provide the most accurate and timely information available.

Interview Requests

Please contact our Coordinator of Communications & District Services Matt Mackinder at (810) 538-1638 or via email if you’d like to arrange an interview with Lapeer Community Schools educators, administrators, or board of education members.

Recording on Campus

If you would like to visit a school or the district office, please contact our Coordinator of Communications & District Services Matt Mackinder at (810) 538-1638 or via email. Please be prepared to outline the nature of your request and a few dates and times that work with your schedule.

Photographing Students and Staff

Some students choose not to be photographed. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) allows students and parents to opt out of the release of certain information about students, including photographs, and Lapeer Community Schools operates in compliance with this law. Before we can allow anyone to take photos, video and/or quotes from our students, a school administrator or the Coordinator of Communications & District Services must confirm.
