Are public schools running advertisements now?
I just saw an ad for a public school, and to clarify, I mean a television ad promoting a public school. It was your standard 30 second spot talking about how great the school was.
I haven't seen this before but I don't watch television very often so I could have missed them. Is this common? Is this standard practice now? It just seemed odd to me.... most school districts are struggling with budget cuts, seemed odd that a school would have the funds to produce and run an ad.
I recognize that this question is probably in the wrong category but I really didn't know where to put it. I figured people in the politics section might be more likely to know about this.....
