• Flyer Approval Process


    Non-profit community groups may partner with the Hinds County School District to distribute information about non-school sponsored activities to families.  This includes copies of flyers available in a school’s office, a community events bulletin board (in some schools), and a monthly District-wide school newsletter insert.  The Community Relations Office must approve all flyers and/or posters before they are distributed to schools.  For approval, community groups may mail a copy of the flyer to the Community Relations Office, Hinds County School District, 13192 Hwy 18 Raymond, MS 39154 or deliver a copy in person to the Central Office, or fax a copy to 601-857-8548.
