School District Publ
60);">ishing, LLC ("SDP") has received and reviewed your statement of concern, and write in response to your March 10, 2016 submission to the Revdex.com. In the interest of customer goodwill, SDP will cancel the Jays Landscaping advertisement from the 2016-2017 Connecticut School Guide. For the past 15 years, SDP has published an annual Guide, an important and useful directory of Connecticut’s public and select private schools, department of education offices, and regional education agencies. Until 2012, the Guide was printed and mailed directly to school administrators across the state. More recently (commencing with the 2013-14 edition), due to changes in the availability of and access to digital media, the Guide has been exclusively made available online (www.ct-schools.net) and in printable .pdf format for schools to download to suit their own needs. SDP has and continues to provide the Guide to Connecticut’s school administrators at no cost to any school, school district, or the state Department of Education. School administrators are free to distribute the Guide to others; and indeed, some schools and districts have made the Guide available on their own websites, so that everyone associated with the school or school district and the general public may benefit from it. A Google search for the “Connecticut School Guide” yields the 2015-2016 edition of the Guide as its first result. To help underwrite the cost of preparing and distributing this free Guide, SDP sells advertising. And it does so by offering its advertisers the ability to place ads in various targeted sections of the Guide, depending on their needs and interests, which is consistent with most similar directories that contain advertising. Accordingly, if a particular advertiser regularly does business in Hartford, for example, then that advertiser may decide to place its ad in the advertising section of the Guide entitled "Business Friends Working For The Future Of Enfield Public School District and Hartford Public School District," or in the separate advertising section of the Guide entitled "Architects, Engineers & Business Friends Working For The Future Of Connecticut Schools," for more generalized advertising exposure. Salespersons soliciting advertising on behalf of SDP for the Guide are well-trained to accurately represent to potential clients the exact nature of the Guide. Following a script, they inform potential advertisers that the Guide is an online resource sent to school district administrators annually, that advertising in the Guide helps provide school districts a valuable resource tool to use, and that placing advertisements in the Guide is a good way to get their name in front of school administrators. When a business agrees to place an advertisement, no payment is taken up front. Rather, a confirmation letter is sent that again describes the Guide as a "valuable resource to school districts" through which the advertiser can "gain positive exposure." The confirmation letter confirms the section of the Guide in which the advertisement will be placed, along with the price. And it concludes by stating unequivocally that "School District Publishing is not affiliated with any school, school district, association, or public or private agency/department." It is only after receipt of this confirmation that the advertiser is asked to make payment. Like every other advertisement-based print or digital media publisher, we generate our sales leads from a wide variety of publicly-available information sources and selected proprietary information lists developed by and purchased from third parties. We also contact businesses in the community who have advertised with us previously, or who we believe may benefit from an advertisement before school administrators. SDP is proud the Guide is an important information tool for schools in Connecticut. In fact, in reviewing background materials for this letter, we came across a note SDP received by email on January 28, 2016, at 1:38 pm from [redacted] at Branford Public Schools, who wrote to request a copy of the newest edition of the Guide as soon as it becomes available. In her words, "Our Superintendent is interested in receiving an updated copy of your publication ConnecticutSchool Guide." We trust that this information is sufficient for your purposes. If you need anything further, please do not hesitate to let me know.
