McFarland Unified School District

Just because McFarland Unified School District is a smaller district doesn’t mean its challenges are different than its counterparts with larger enrollment. After all, a strong community engagement program is necessary for any district. However, MUSD does not have a full-time communicator on staff.

Nichols Strategies fufills the role as a virtual public information officer offering strategic communication counsel and creating content on behalf of the district for distribution. From creating social media campaigns to assisting with communication in high-profile incidents, Nichols Strategies is there.
