RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE KRISTY ZURBRICK FOR CAREER SUCCESS AND FAIRNESS IN REPORTING AND TO NOMINATE HER FOR THE 2025 OSBA MEDIA HONOR ROLL
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; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the London City School District Board of Education recognizes and celebrates Kristy Zurbrick, for her successful 31-year career with the Madison Messenger, which often included fairly reporting on the successes, challenges, and current events regarding the London City School District;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the London City School District Board of Education is proud to nominate Kristy Zurbrick, to the 2025 Ohio School Boards Association Media Honor Roll, calling attention to her career of responsible and exemplary reporting on this community’s public schools.
