Georgia Council of Administrators of Special Education

Distribution Policy

 

Reason for Policy

Each year G-CASE receives several requests to forward flyers and information about conferences presented by other agencies and GAEL affiliates to our members. A policy on sharing our list of G-CASE members is needed.The purpose of this policy is to describe the appropriate use of G-CASE member email distribution lists. By allowing only authorized information from approved sources to be shared via G-CASE member distribution lists, G-CASE limits the risk of distribution of inappropriate or excessive email messages to members.  This policy allows for only sanctioned, quality information to be distributed under the G-CASE designation and only by authorized G-CASE personnel.*
