Lebanon board announces inaugural scholarship to student representative Isaac Parlett
Summary
Board created a private scholarship last year and awarded the first scholarship to student body representative Isaac Parlett at the May 19 meeting; the presentation was informational and no formal vote was recorded in minutes.
The Lebanon City Schools board on May 19 announced the first recipient of a privately funded board scholarship: student-body representative Isaac Parlett.
Why it matters: the scholarship recognizes student leadership and was presented informally at the board meeting; the board asked for a photograph and the student spoke briefly about his experience.
Board members said the scholarship was developed last year at the suggestion of a board member and had been kept private until the award presentation. “Mister Lane came up with the idea of creating a board scholarship last year, so we did create that,” a board presenter said. The board then announced that this year's recipient is student representative Isaac Parlett.
Parlett addressed the board briefly, saying he appreciated the opportunity to learn public speaking and to serve in a professional setting. The board invited the student and his family forward for photos. The announcement did not include a recorded motion or roll-call vote in the meeting transcript; the board characterized the scholarship as an established but private award.
