Congratulations to Jacque' Burton, a veteran Clarksville-Montgomery Co. education support professional, on being sworn in as a new member of the Clarksville-Montgomery Co. School Board!

Burton retired from her position as English Language Learner Assistant at Hazelwood Elementary School in Clarksville earlier this year and decided to run for the school board.

"Throughout my career as an education support professional, I gained firsthand insight into classroom environments, student services, and the importance of collaboration between staff and families," Burton said. "I have been a strong advocate over 15 years, and I have a lot of knowledge to share in my retirement to build stronger public schools in our area."

Our neighborhood schools are the heart of local communities.

Every student, family member, educator and school leader is part of what makes Tennessee public schools places where learning and connection go beyond the classroom.

Strong schools make strong communities.

That’s how hometowns work.
