1. Approve the Resolution for the OSBA Media Honor Roll 2010

Whereas, in each community, the public schools are shaped by that community to provide the most appropriate and effective education for the schoolchildren who attend those schools; and

Whereas, public schools are dependent upon the community’s support in countless ways, including support in setting goals for the education of our children, in establishing successful volunteer and booster programs at the schools, for funding of facilities and operations, and in the election of qualified school board members; and

Whereas, much of the community’s knowledge and opinions about the public schools depend on responsible reporting by local news media representatives who decide which news to share with the community, how much attention will be focused on various issues and what the tone of the reporting will be; therefore

NOW BE IT RESOLVED that the Monroe Local School District Board of Education names Denise Wilson, Reporter for the Pulse Journal to the 2010 OSBA Media Honor Roll, calling attention to the ongoing responsible and exemplary nature of reporting on this community’s public schools.

We express our appreciation for your balanced and accurate approach to sharing with this community both the challenges facing our schools and the successes achieved by the staff and students. Your work has aided this community in focusing on the goal of providing the best public schools we can for every child who attends them.
