The West Branch‑Rose City Area Schools Board of Education opened its April 20 meeting with awards for staff and community volunteers and a notice about the recent death of a board member. The board presented Appreciation Awards, Outstanding Effort and Dedication Awards, and an Above‑and‑Beyond award to multiple recipients and then noted that Trustee Heather Kearns passed away “this past weekend,” with Superintendent Gail Hughey and President Gary Miller sharing information about her celebration of life. A short reception followed the presentation of awards.
The awards recognized employees and volunteers across district schools. The board identified recipients by name at the meeting; trustees and administrators acknowledged Kearns’ recent death and set aside time to inform attendees about memorial arrangements. No board action related to the vacancy was taken at that time; trustees reviewed board vacancy procedures later in the meeting under Policy PO 0142.5.
