Kansas student journalists have legal protection against administrative censorship and interference, but at some schools these laws are almost unnecessary because the administrators go above and beyond to encourage student journalism. The Administrator of the Year Award is an opportunity for high schools to honor administrators who support and respect journalism programs.
The person nominating an administrator must provide specific examples of how the nominee fits five different categories: Support for Freedom of Press, Finanical Support of Student Media, Journalism’s Place in Curriculum, Encouragement of Academic and Professional Growth, and Personal Support and Encouragement.
Nominations must be postmarked by March 12, 2010 and sent to:
Jeff Browne, Executive Director Kansas Scholastic Press Association
Stauffer-Flint Hall University of Kansas
1435 Jayhawk Blvd.
Lawrence, KS 66045
To download the nomination form and view all details for nomination, you can click on the Awards page at the top of this site, or you can click on Administrator of the Year under Links.
