I don't tweet or get tweets.

Who is doing the tweeting for the FCPS?

Waste of time if you ask me.

What is wrong with their existing Keep in Touch (KIT) notification system? Keep chasing fads and you'll end up both broke AND uninformative.

Looks like they have a couple different Twitter feeds:
http://twitter.com/#!/fcpsnews
https://twitter.com/#!/FCPSFineArtsLib

How about RSS instead of proprietary twitter?

How about the KISS rule FCPS.

Keep
It
Simple
Stupid

FCPS does NOT need to be on twitter or FB.

Do you really think kids are going to add FCPS to FB. Plus kids should NOT give out info of where they go to school on FB.

FAIL again FCPS.
