During the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Capital Conference on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, Sandusky City Schools Board Member, Mr. Thomas Patterson, was presented with the OSBA President’s gavel, symbolizing his new role as the leader of the organization representing more than 3,500 Ohio school board members. During opening remarks, Mr. Patterson addressed the assembly stating, “I would be remiss if I did not begin the upcoming year by thanking my colleagues, fellow board members, Sandusky City Schools Administration Team, the entire OSBA staff, and my wife, Cindy and family members. It is important to remember that leadership is not about you and me. True leadership comes from giving and sharing your talents with others. It comes with supporting others as they learn and develop their gifts and talents.”
