media inquiries

At Marin Academy, only the Director of Communications and the Head of School are authorized to respond to any and all media inquiries. Please direct all media inquiries to the Director of Communications or the Head of School.

All media inquiries are to be handled by the Director of Communications or the Head of School.

If you receive a phone call or are approached in any other way by a member of the media or anyone else, please politely tell them you are not authorized to speak with them, and ask them to call the Director of Communications or the Head of School. This policy serves several important purposes:

1. It prevents employees from being placed in an awkward position

2. The media receives accurate and timely information

3. We fulfill our obligation to protect student privacy since we refrain from commenting publicly on confidential matters, including those related to student, parent, and employee situations

Members of the media will often be persistent and may tell you it is off-the-record, but please realize anything you say is indeed on-the-record. Only offer to transfer them or give them contact information for the Director of Communications and the Head of School. Again, we have the obligation to protect everyone’s privacy. Remember, refer them to the Director of Communications and the Head of School.
