University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications alumna Shelby Webb, B.S. Journalism 2013, current education reporter for the Houston Chronicle and former Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune writer, has won the national investigative award for medium-sized news outlets from the Education Writers Association for her Herald-Tribune investigation on disciplinary policies, including expulsions, in Sarasota County and across the state.

Webb’s “Expelled: No Second Chances,” focused on  a dichotomy in the Sarasota County school district – a place with high academic standards and community support, but also a high rate of expulsions from 2010 – 2015.
