Good morning, my name is James Canning. I am the new Executive Director, Strategic Communications & Information for San Diego Unified School District.
I’m emailing today to inform you that we have new points of contact for inquiries about stories you are working on about San Diego Unified.
Maureen Magee now has a different role within the District; therefore, she is not your best contact for day-to-day media needs. Your points of contact for the San Diego Unified Communications Department are as follows:
- James Canning, jcanning@sandi.net, 313-580-2845 (Mobile)
- Mike Murad, mmurad@sandi.net, 619-925-4790 (Mobile)
Feel free to copy us both on inquiries, and we will coordinate internally based on availability.
Also, we have general contact information for the Communications Department, which I have listed below, but my request is you only use that if you’re not hearing back from me or Mike.
- General office phone line: 619-725-5578
- General email: communications@sandi.net
Additionally, we have some other team members in the communications office who send press releases and advisories, and when they do so, they will be the best point of contact for that specific activity, but never hesitate to reach out to Mike and me if necessary.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, James
James Canning (He/Him)
