Will keep account open to keep an eye on things
The Limestone District School Board has announced it will stop using X (formerly Twitter) until at least the end of the 2024-2025 school year.
The board cited a significant drop in engagement and reach on the platform as the reason for the decision.
While the account will remain active for observation, the board plans to focus more on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, where they are seeing higher engagement from students and parents.
The Limestone board aims to connect with families through more direct methods of communication.
The shift reflects the board’s commitment to improving communication with its community through more effective channels.
This move is part of a growing trend among school boards across Ontario to reduce or temporarily halt activity on X.
