Exemplary Leadership Award

Chardon Local School District Superintendent Michael Hanlon was recently named recipient of the 2025 Exemplary Leadership Award from the Buckeye Association of School Administrators.

Each year, BASA recognizes one member from each of its 10 regions to receive the award. The Exemplary Leadership Award is selected by a panel of peers from each of Ohio’s BASA service regions.

“Our goal with this award is to provide some external validation for what you already know. I hope you know that you have one of the top superintendents in the state of Ohio,” BASA Director David Axner said.

Dr. Hanlon was recognized during the board of education’s Oct. 13 meeting.

“It’s certainly an honor to be recognized by my colleagues and by BASA,” Dr. Hanlon said.
