Back to Web outline page

Model Web outline B

Following is a Web outline for school districts that are seeking a more modest presence on the World Wide Web: 

Home page copy

This would consist of news headlines and/or news blurbs that would link to fuller stories inside the Web site. There would also be the district address, superintendent name and phone number and Webmaster link.

Primary links

Our district A-Z - This would consist of an alphabetical listing of all information that's available on the Web site. It could begin small and grow over time. For example, it might include:

  • Attendance policy

  • Bus schedules

  • Cafeteria menus

  • Directions to buildings

  • Opening and dismissal times

  • Report card schedule

  • Regents exam dates

  • School budget

  • School tax rates

  • Sports schedules

  • Voter registration

Academics - This could include information about the district's mission, its programs, curriculum maps and academic achievement. This, too, could grow and change over time.

Alumni - This could include a searchable alumni database.

Board of education - This could include a listing of board members, announcements of upcoming meetings, agendas and minutes, how to address the board, and information on the school budget.

Calendar - This could include a month-by-month calendar of school events or a searchable events database.

Directory - This could include a simple listing of the key people to contact in the district, or it could be set up as a searchable database of all staff members.

Feedback - A feedback form to gather comments about the Web site as well as about district issues in general

Job openings - A listing of the latest job openings with information on how to apply for a job.

Our schools - This could lead to a single page listing all the schools in the district with basic information on each one, or it could lead to a single page or a small series of pages for each school building. 

Publications/forms - Archived copies of the district newsletters as well as other booklets, brochures & commonly used forms.

Transportation - This section could include bus schedules, as well as answers to the most commonly asked questions that come into the transportation department.

Other features for the home page

  • A link to "Emergency school closings and delays"

  • A "Search our Site" box
