Managing Your Google Groups

Google (email) Groups are built with their constituent (sub)groups and a small number of individuals (the fewer the better). Those constituent (sub)groups are made up of individual members.

One example:

• All CERSD (top level)
  • ES Staff
  • ES Certificated
    • ES teachers, other certificated employees
  • ES Classified
    • ES paras, other classified employees
  • Individuals associated with the ES but not in any other ES Staff subgroup (custodians, nurses, etc)

Best practice: Manage (add/remove) members at the subgroup level, rather than at the top level. The higher levels should have minimal individual members. From the top level down, simplicity is key.
