The Knoxville School Board approved the new Website/Social Media Specialist position at their meeting Monday. Knoxville School District Superintendent Cassi Pearson spoke with KNIA/KRLS News about the position.

“So many people check their social media on a day-to-day basis that we felt it is a good way to get general information out to a wider group of people instead of using the traditional newsletter that we used to mail to people. So we felt that having someone that can get information out through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media can help with getting information out about all the things we are doing to not only our community here but to people outside of our community.”
