The Tasha Levy Scholarship is intended to support district administrative assistants and secretaries who embody Tasha’s spirit of selflessness, community, and continuous learning. The scholarship was created to honor the life and legacy of Tasha Levy, whose kindness, dedication, and warmth had a profound impact on her colleagues and the members she worked with at IASB.
The deadline to complete applications is April 30.

Named in memory of longtime IASB Administrative Assistant Holly Jack, the annual award is presented to one administrative professional (superintendent’s secretary, superintendent’s administrative assistant, or school board recording secretary) who exhibits a passion for public education and goes beyond the expectations of their position.
To be eligible for the honor, individuals must be a district employee who has worked in their current position for at least five years and whose role supports the board of education.
