Press Information

  • The Duarte Unified School District welcomes members of the media into our schools and strives to provide the most accurate and timely information available.

    School and District Interviews
    Please notify the District Communications Contact, Jenny Owen, at (626) 599-5019 or via e-mail to jowen@duarteusd.org if you’d like to interview Duarte Unified educators and administrators. We are happy to put you in touch with the correct person and/or resource for your story, and can arrange an interview time.

    School and District Visits
    If you would like to visit a school or district office, please notify the District Communications Contact, Jenny Owen, at (626) 599-5019 or via e-mail to jowen@duarteusd.org. We will be happy to escort you to any school for the interview or story. We will work with your schedule, as well as that of the students and staff, to ensure that your visit is successful. Please offer a few available dates for your visit in case a school has a conflict on a particular day.

    Photographing Students and Staff
    Some students choose not to be photographed. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) allows students and parents to opt out of the release of certain information about students, including photographs, and the Duarte Unified School District operates in compliance with this law. Before we can allow anyone to take photos, video and/or quotes from our students, a school administrator or the District Communications Contact must verify that these individuals have the proper release information on file.

    Board of Education
