The official District logo appears on district correspondence, envelopes, reports, business cards, electronic presentations, videos, awards, publications, promotional materials, etc. The logo typically appears in the official red orange, light blue, and medium blue colors. It is important that the FCS logos be used in a consistent manner by all departments and campuses.
The official district logo should NOT be reproduced from original illustrations and should not be redrawn, re-proportioned or modified in any way.
Red Orange, Light Blue, and Medium Blue are the official primary colors, with a secondary color of dark/navy blue.
It is important to ensure district and school specific colors are used correctly. Please match prior to sending publications. To find your color number, contact the communications department.
To effectively communicate flyers for all organizations to district families and/or schools, Franklin County Schools' goal is to post all approved flyers to Google Drive.
All flyers must have the approval of the Superintendent or designee. Organizations are asked to submit a copy of the flyer via e-mail to communications@fcschools.net for approval. A PDF document is preferred. Kindly ensure that the file name indicates the purpose of the flyer. Once the Superintendent's designee has approved the flyer, the flyer will be available in the Google Drive Folder.
Our goal is to continue to provide valuable information while adhering to our board of education policy (5240 Advertising in the Schools).
CRITERIA
The following are the criteria for flyer approval:
Requests for flyers will only be accepted electronically and must contain a file appropriate to the event/activity.
The Superintendent's designee may approve advertising that complies with board policies and regulations and respond within 30 working days.
The Superintendent's designee must approve a copy of the flyer.
The document must be a PDF.
Organizations may drop off small amounts of flyers to individual schools for distribution.
