The Murfreesboro City School Board convened on September 23, 2025, to discuss several key initiatives and recognize outstanding contributions within the district. The meeting began with a warm welcome from the newly elected chair, who expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him by fellow board members and acknowledged the significant leadership of former chair Mr. Campbell, who served for over 11 years.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the announcement of the 2025 State of the Schools event, scheduled for September 30 at Redstone Federal Credit Union. This event aims to engage community members and provide updates on the district's progress. Additionally, the board celebrated the success of the recent "Reading in the Schools Day," which saw strong participation from community partners and parents.
The meeting also featured the recognition of Ms. Angela Wilson as the September "Best of MCS" honoree. Ms. Wilson, a dedicated educator with 23 years of experience, has made a significant impact at Hobgood Elementary as a resource teacher. Her commitment to fostering deep relationships with students and her passion for teaching were highlighted by her colleagues, who praised her ability to inspire both students and fellow educators.
In addition to these discussions, the board reviewed upcoming events, including the MCS Art Taking Flight Show at the Murfreesboro Municipal Airport, which will coincide with the STEAM Festival, and the City Schools Foundation's pickleball tournament. The board also encouraged participation in various parent university programs and community outreach activities.
Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to enhancing educational experiences and fostering community involvement in Murfreesboro City Schools.
