Amber Rountree, who is running for the 9th District BOE seat, launched her campaign website today.
Rountree, a South Knoxville resident and a librarian at Halls Elementary will face Pam Trainor (here's her website) in May’s non-partisan primary. At this point, a couple other folks have picked up nominating petitions, but they’re not expected to run for the seat.
Expect this particular race to focus closely on teacher and student needs, and Superintendent Jim McIntyre. Rountree is not a huge McIntyre supporter, and Trainor is.
As always, send me your election stuff.
'Meet Candidate' McMillan on Wed.
