The seats have changed on the Board and MCS extends a special thanks for their leadership .

After a decade of distinguished service as Board Chair, Mr. Butch Campbell is stepping down from his role while continuing to serve as a valued member of the School Board. For 10 years, Mr. Campbell’s leadership as Chair has been instrumental in helping MCS navigate times of challenge, loss, and much success. The district extends our deep appreciation for his commitment and strong leadership.

At Tuesday night’s meeting, Ms. Amanda Moore was elected as the new Chair of the Board. Ms. Moore brings a strong record of service to Murfreesboro City Schools and will continue to lead with the same steadfast commitment exemplified by Mr. Campbell. Mr. Campbell was elected to serve as Vice Chair.

Thank you Mr. Campbell! Congratulations Ms. Moore!
