District recognizes staff support for CDL training; school business official to receive regional award

District staff used the school-recognition portion of the meeting to thank staff and partners who supported recent training and to note a regional award for a district official.

A staff member (citing Melissa Ball from central office) extended special thanks to Ron Norman and his team for opening Northfield High School facilities during spring break to host a three-day pre-service commercial driver’s license (CDL) Class B training with S&P endorsements. The speaker said Ron and his team helped make the building accessible, handled waste removal and supported the training so participants could complete required instruction.

The speaker also announced that the district's school business official (referred to in the transcript only as 'Dr.') will be recognized as the Region 5 school business official of the year at the Indiana Association of School Business Officials annual meeting in French Lake, Indiana. The transcript does not provide the official's full name; the recognition will take place on May 7 according to the meeting remarks.

These recognitions were presented as part of routine school acknowledgments; no formal board action was recorded in the transcript for these items.
