Conferred October 5–6, 2026 · presented at P-H-M, October 12, 2026
The boundary: Larry Beehler sits for Madison Township, not for Penn, and no record reached makes him an Osceola resident; his honor prints at boundary size, as an honor of the board that governs Osceola's school rather than of the town. What the honor is stands at the corporation's own record: the Indiana School Boards Association's 2026 Indiana Outstanding Board Service Award, conferred annually on one of the state's 1,686 school board members, was recognized at the ISBA/IAPSS Fall Conference on October 5–6, 2026 and presented at the Penn-Harris-Madison board meeting of October 12, 2026, to a trustee first elected in 1986 — forty years on the board, twenty-two of them in board leadership. The board room at the Speicher Educational Services Center had already been renamed the Larry and Judy Beehler School Board Room on May 18, 2026. State election data carry his filing for re-election on June 16, 2026. A living honoree, printed at official-record strength only, on his own corporation's telling.
