CASE STUDY

Problem: "Ghost teaching" is


a controversial practice in which
teachers are paid to teach; however,
they skip teaching classes and
instead work full time for the local
teachers’ union.  The general public is
mostly unaware of "ghost teaching"
practices.  Saccone, using his
legislation, wanted to be seen as
someone who was leading the fight
against "ghost teaching" practices.

Summary: I used public relations


tools to generate media attention
state-wide.  Our media coverage,
which appeared in TV, radio and
print, brought to light this
important issue.   Saccone was
viewed as the spokesperson for
fighting "ghost teaching" practices.
