Media Relations
Hobbs Municipal Schools (HMS) is excited to partner with the media to highlight the great things happening throughout our district. We look forward to inviting you into our schools and sharing stories of our students and staff who inspire, uplift, and unite the Hobbs Eagles community!
In order to best support you, all media requests will be streamlined through the Hobbs Municipal Schools Central Office Public Relations Department. To help facilitate these requests, we ask the media to adhere to the following guidelines and procedures:
Point of Contact for HMS Media Relations:
All media inquiries and interview requests should be directed to Geni Cavanaugh, Director of Communications & Community Relations at cavanaughg@hobbsschools.net
Access to Schools:
Media are permitted to film outside of schools and inside schools during normal school hours. All media visits must be cleared through the Director of Communications & Community Relations prior to arrival to gain access inside of buildings. Once the visit is approved, media representatives are required to check-in at the front office and will be escorted by HMS staff inside the building.
Photographing, Videotaping, or Interviewing Students:
HMS operates in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This law allows students and parents to opt-out of the release of certain information about students including photographs and video. The HMS Director of Communications & Community Relations will work with each school to determine who cannot be photographed and interviewed according to FERPA guidelines. Please check with the Director of Communications & Community Relations before taking photos, video, or conducting interviews with students to protect the right of privacy for each student.
