Dr. Duke presented "Best of MCS" recognitions for two employees. Jacqueline Keller was honored for 18 years in education and 11 years at Cason Lane Academy; presenters praised her high expectations and collaborative support for colleagues. Dr. Duke said, "Ms. Keller represents so much of what we hope for in Murfreesboro City Schools, high expectations for students, the support necessary to help them meet those expectations, a willingness to invest in colleagues, and a genuine belief in the potential of every child."

The second recognition honored Sarah Todd of Scales Elementary for 28 years in education and 11 years as an academic coach at Scales; colleagues highlighted her focus on student achievement and support for teacher growth. The board applauded both honorees; no action was required.
