The Euclid Board of Education recognized four students, a classified staff member, a faculty member and a parent during its meeting, Superintendent Chris Paporis announced.
"Whereas the Euclid City School District takes great pride in recognizing the academic achievements, positive behavior, and personal growth of its students," Paporis said as he read the board's resolution naming the students of the month for April. The four students named were DV Black, Ralph Wells, Lynell Locklear and Kaden Lawrie. Paporis said the honorees were selected for "positive behavior and leadership," strong attendance and being referral-free.
The awards included certificates presented onstage; Paporis invited the students to come forward and line up for recognition. "Congratulations," he said to the students as the board recognized them.
The board also recognized Maurice Primus, a security guard nominated by Lawanda Prettyman, principal of Arbor Elementary School, as Classified Staff Member of the Month for April. Paporis read the nomination language saying Primus is acknowledged for his ability to "quickly connect with students through calm and meaningful conversations that help them reengage and successfully return to class."
Kathy Rich was named Faculty Member of the Month for April. Paporis told the board Rich was being honored for "dedication and commitment to our school community," and described her as "a great team player" who consistently goes "above and beyond" for students and staff.
The board also acknowledged Deja Wilson as Family Member of the Month for April. Paporis said Wilson, the parent of Tamari Covington and the school's PTA president, regularly volunteers and helps raise funds for student opportunities. Paporis noted Wilson was not present and added, "We also have a plaque for her that we will make sure she gets."
The recognitions were presented as board resolutions read aloud; no separate vote or additional action was recorded in the transcript. The announcements emphasized student achievement, staff and family support and community involvement.
The board did not discuss budgetary or policy changes in connection with the recognitions. The meeting proceeded after the presentations.
