Westerville City School District issued the following announcement.

The A+ Award was initially intended to acknowledge the contributions of individual employees. Over the years the committee has reviewed nominations that have included a group of employees who worked together and went above and beyond. The award nomination process includes the option of a nominator presenting either an individual employee or a group of employees.

A+ awards are presented to an individual employee or a group of employees who distinguish themselves through a single or ongoing demonstration of exemplary performance. The selection committee's decision is guided by evaluating how each nominee's actions demonstrate:

• Support of the district's Mission Statement, which is, "To prepare students to contribute to the competitive and  changing world in which we live;"
• Willingness to go above and beyond normal expectations in support of students; and
• Behavior consistent with one or more of the district's values, including respect, inclusiveness, community, communication, collaboration, innovation, nurturing, trust and accountability.

Note: The committee shares that nominations that provide specific and clear examples of how the nominee demonstrated the stated qualities are more likely to receive favorable support.

Deadline is Friday, March 4 at 3:30 p.m. Nominees will be notified of the status of their nomination by late March and will be recognized at the April 25 Board of Education meeting. 

A committee facilitated by Superintendent Dr. John Kellogg will select A+ recipients. Not all nominees will receive an award. To submit a nomination click on the Google Forms link.
