Recently, residents have tried to communicate with me on Facebook (at times using its Messenger feature) and other social media sites. However, it is not possible for me to monitor all of those sites, nor do they always lend themselves to one-to-one communications. In addition, information on social media is not easily kept confidential. Because of these concerns, I do not use services such as Facebook Messenger and do not receive notifications if anyone tries to communicate with me through the service.
As a result, I request that if you would like to communicate with me that you email me at
dansiegel@4haverford.com
or call me at (610) 446-1117 so that I can handle your concerns in a way that assures a quick response and privacy. I cannot monitor all Facebook exchanges, but assure you that I respond promptly to every email.
