By combining PRP Group’s expertise in public relations and marketing for the education sector with K20 Connect’s senior-level educational leadership and communications strategies, the partnership offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to improve educational outcomes.

“The challenges that school districts face today require new, strategic approaches to district communications,” said Jacob Hanson, Managing Director of PRP Group. “This partnership allows us to provide guidance to leadership as they assess and refine their overarching communications strategy to empower their brand, share their message, and strengthen their community as they work to boost enrollment, reduce absenteeism, and improve teacher recruitment.”

Central to this partnership is the Strategic Communications Benchmark Assessment, which allows districts to evaluate and refine their brand, messaging, and overall communication strategies.

Addressing Key Challenges for School Districts

For District Leadership:

School districts are grappling with declining enrollment and increasing absenteeism, which directly impact their budgets and operations. The expiration of federal ESSER funding and the rise of school choice legislation further compound these challenges. The Strategic Communications Benchmark Assessment service provided through this partnership gives district leaders a clear path to strengthening their brand, refining their messaging, and engaging their communities more effectively.

For K-20 Education and Edtech Vendors:

The partnership also offers strategic support for education vendors facing budgetary constraints in districts. Vendors must differentiate themselves in a competitive market and adapt to new marketing tactics. PRP Group and K20 Connect provide education vendors with deep market research, strategic communications, and targeted public relations services to reach the right audience at the right time.
