The Moore County Board of Education approved tenure for Linda Paris, a culinary teacher who the district said manages the school’s food truck and was recommended for tenure after paperwork from a prior district delayed the process.

The recommendation came via a letter from a district administrator and was presented to the board for consideration. A motion to grant tenure was made and seconded, and the board approved the request by voice vote.

Board members praised Paris for her work with the culinary program and the food truck; the operations presentation noted she moved into the district from another system and the district was completing tenure paperwork. No additional conditions or stipulations were recorded in the meeting minutes.

The board’s approval places Paris on continuing contract status according to district practice; staff will update personnel records following board action.
