For my next Citizen Spotlight, I would like to recognize Mrs. Courtney Kunkel. Courtney currently works as a Title I teacher at Stark County Elementary School. Last month, she was honored at the 52nd annual ISBE Those Who Excel and Teacher of the Year Awards Banquet in Bloomington.
Courtney received the Illinois State Board of Education’s Award of Meritorious Service, which was presented by ISBE President Tony Sanders. According to ISBE, educators presented with the Award of Meritorious Service have gone above and beyond in service to their school communities. They are experienced educators who take on leadership opportunities and whose accomplishments uplift the culture of learning in their school. They stand as exemplars of their profession and have become integral members of their schools and districts.
Courtney, I am proud to recognize you and spotlight all of the great work you do for the students and faculty at Stark County Elementary School. Congratulations on this tremendous honor! Courtney is pictured above with Stark County Elementary Principal Emily Mastin.
