Description of MMSD Web Publishing Roles

Madison Metropolitan School District
Revised October, 2001

Certified Publisher
This person posts pages to the MMSD Web server, created by themselves or an Author.
Publishers confirm that all Web documents published meet the MMSD District policies. To become certified, a person needs to successfully complete the Web Publishing course. Only Staff members can become Publishers.
Author
This person creates the design and content of the Web page, which needs to be
compliant with District policies. Web pages which are created by authors who are students or school volunteers need to have a sponsoring staff member to verify the accuracy of the content.
While there is no specific process to becoming an "Author," it is strongly recommended that an Author work closely with a Certified Publisher in order to facilitate the Web page development process.
