School board president recognized by state

North Royalton School Board President Jackie Arendt has received the Ohio School Boards Association Recognition Award. This is a distinct award and part of OSBA’s STAR Awards Program – Service, Training, Aptitude and Recognition. 

“Your efforts reflect a true commitment toward public education and the importance you attach to your role as a school board member,” said Gwen Samet, senior administrative assistant of Board and Management Services, Ohio School Boards Association. “Thank you for your dedication.”

Of the more than 3,400 board members in Ohio, only 14 earned the Recognition Award in 2024. OSBA will officially recognize Arendt for this achievement at Northeast Ohio Region Fall Conference on Oct. 2 at the Galaxy Restaurant and Banquet Center in Wadsworth. ∞
