Case Study: San Diego K-8 School minimizes crisis fallout with J. Walcher Communications

San Diego K-8 School limits negative press to 1 local article with J. Walcher Communications

The customer, a San Diego K-8 school, faced a crisis and potential negative press following the termination of its superintendent, who was suing for wrongful termination and speaking to an investigative news outlet. The school hired J. Walcher Communications for crisis communications services to manage the situation and mitigate public scrutiny.

J. Walcher Communications developed a comprehensive strategy, including media protocols and tailored messaging for all audiences, focusing on student safety and the pending litigation. This careful planning resulted in minimal media coverage, with only one article being picked up by a few local outlets, which did not lead to further negative attention. The school was so pleased with the results that it later re-hired J. Walcher Communications to manage the announcement of its new superintendent.
