OSBA Honors Greenwalt for Years of Service

He was recognized at the OSBA Capital Conference

Voters in the Zane Trace School District this year may have thought they were missing something in November when they didn’t see Jack Greenwalt’s name on the ballot.

With 26 years on the board over a 30-year span — at least half of them as board president — it was almost a given that he would be there. With his 80th birthday approaching in April, however, he felt it was time to step away.

While there wasn’t an issue with participation in the Zane Trace school board race this year – five candidates ran for three available seats – finding enough candidates to fill the ballot has been a problem in recent years in some school district and township trustee races. That is what makes Greenwalt’s 26 years notable enough to have garnered attention from the Ohio School Boards Association, which presented him with a special recognition at the opening ceremony of its OSBA Capital Conference for at least 25 years of service.
