New spokesman named for DeKalb schools

Rodney Jenkins was named the new spokesman for DeKalb County Schools. Jenkins was previously communications director for the Georgia Department of Administrative Services. The district has been without an in-house spokesperson, instead relying public relations firm Cohn and Wolfe for day-to-day media needs. The appointment is designed to improve communication with employees, students and taxpayers, as required for district accreditation. Cohn and Wolfe will continue to work with the district on complex communication issues.
