Sullivan Community Unit District 300 added Instagram to its list of social media offerings in October.
“Using Instagram gives our community another way to “see” what is going on without needing to subscribe to other services,” IT Director Mark Waelde said.
The idea to ad Instagram started with a suggestion to increase community access through social media from superintendent Brad Tuttle.
The feed began October 22 with Waelde noting it took only about an hour from registration, converting images, adding a slide show to placing it on the website.
He explained by using The Cube to stream home sporting events, adding the photos for an Instagram page an easy way to provide more information for the community to view.
“Right now I am focusing on events that are accessible to the public,” he said of the content, adding that sporting events will be posted.
High School art teacher Jaclyn Lindberg is working with Waelde to showcase some of the students photography work.
The Sullivan High School Tech Club can also provide images for review before being placed on the Instagram page.
