Board nominates Barbie Washington for OSBA recognition; alumni association announces scholarship application
Summary
The board approved a resolution nominating Barbie Washington for an OSBA recognition award. A district employee representing the Lorain Schools Alumni Association announced the 2026 distinguished alumni application and that scholarships were awarded this year; the total scholarship dollar amount in the record is not specified.
The Lorain City School Board on July 14 approved a resolution nominating Barbie Washington for a recognition award through the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA). The board recorded the motion and approved the nomination by roll-call vote.
During new business, a board member said Washington had completed required training and few board members across Ohio have completed the OSBA requirements, framing the nomination as the final step in a multi-part certification.
In the second public-comment period, Missy D'Angelis, speaking as an employee and on behalf of the Lorain Schools Alumni Association, thanked the district for its partnership and announced the 2026 distinguished alumni application is open on the association's Facebook page. D'Angelis also said the association awarded scholarships this year and that there were five recipients; the meeting record did not include a confirmed total dollar amount for the scholarships.
The board's vote to nominate Washington was approved on roll call; recorded votes were affirmative. The transcript does not show any dissent or abstention on that resolution.
Next steps: The OSBA nomination will proceed per OSBA procedures; scholarship application details are available through the alumni association's stated online channels.
