Question from Peg Allen at Warren County CC and Responses

Peg Allen, public information specialist at Warren County Career Center, asked this question of her colleagues in CTE:

Do any of you do annual reports? If so, how many do you print, how do you distribute them and what is your time of publication? Thanks! Peg

Here are some of the responses she has received back:

"We do not currently do an annual report, although it is being considered in some fashion. We are thinking of doing it as a “special edition” of our district newsletter and tying the information that would be in an annual report around testimonials and feature stories and a year-in-review format. So, it would come out this July or early August if we did it. The cost is what concerns me, though, because if we did it as an edition of our newsletter we would have to print over 50,000, and I don’t know of the value of doing something so costly."
-Shane Haggerty, Communications Coordinator at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center

"Hi Peg,Thank you for the clarification and for the kind words about the annual report. It is always nice to hear that someone likes what we’ve done. =)
We had 1,750 reports printed. We distributed them to:
· county commissioners
· the boards of education of the school districts we serve
· our advisory committee members
· JOBS coordinators
· our staff
· agencies with whom we work
· guidance counselors
· principals
· superintendents
· media contacts
· chambers of commerce
· our tech prep partners
· city and village officials
· state officials
· Ohio career centers
· Former seniors
· Boards of elections
The distribution is done by mail. We provide our printer with a database of addresses, and he takes care of the rest. We typically try to have the report finished no later than October, but we really strive for September.
I hope this helps. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to call me at 740-452-4518, ext. 136 or e-mail me at ktatman@mvesc.k12.oh.us"
