Summary
At its regular meeting, the Lebanon City Schools Board honored eight staff members as Community Builders and, under Ohio Revised Code 15.616, presented a high-school diploma to Vietnam-era veteran John Robert Senior. Superintendent Isaac Sievers led the recognitions and invited recipients to a group photo.
Isaac Sievers, superintendent of Lebanon City Schools, opened the board meeting by presenting the district’s Community Builder awards and thanking staff for contributions beyond the classroom. “We’re going to recognize eight staff members who we believe are true community builders,” Sievers said, explaining recipients would receive yard signs and a group photograph.
Among those singled out were Robin Magnus and Anna Frank for leading a student tech-free initiative; staff members Butch Ferreira and Laura Michaels; and school staff recognized for work supporting students with behavior needs. The board also recognized Lebanon High School staff involved with the Air Force Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps: David Alvarez and Ryan Eads were praised for helping students develop leadership and community commitment.
Separately, Sievers cited Ohio Revised Code 15.616 and presented a diploma to John Robert Senior, a veteran who left high school to serve in the U.S. military. “Thank you for your service to our country,” Sievers said while inviting Senior and his family forward to receive the diploma.
Board members and staff asked recipients to carry yard signs for photos and encouraged the community to share in the celebratory recognition. The meeting’s opening segment emphasized hands-on student learning and staff contributions across athletics, counseling, and career-focused programs.
The board later approved the diploma presentation and moved on to routine business and other agenda items.
