From the Amber Rountree campaign...

We are delighted to announce that Amber Rountree is running for the District 9 Knox County Board of Education (BOE) seat.

She will host her official kickoff and first fundraiser Tuesday, March 4 at The Roundup where everyone is invited to hangout, have a good time, ask questions and enjoy dinner.

Amber considers herself a Knoxville girl after moving south from Ohio to attend the University of Tennessee more than 15 years ago. She has lived all over our great city, but she and her husband Bart fell in love with South Knoxville where they live with their dog Banjo!

Amber graduated from UT with a degree in Early Childhood Education and then pursued a Master's in Library Science. Amber's love for books and desire to help others led her to take a job with Halls Elementary School as a librarian. There she spends a great deal of time working closely with students, giggling along with Dr. Seuss, and helping the children learn research skills that are crucial to their success.

In the past year, the constant changes at Knox County Schools have created a cause for concern and Amber has spoken out at many board meetings. Amber believes the best way to affect positive change for South Knoxville students would be as a school board member. And, she's not afraid to ask the tough questions! Amber is committed to taking whatever steps necessary to Growing Great Schools!

You are cordially invited to Amber's campaign kickoff which will be held on March 4, 2014 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at The Roundup, 3643 Sevierville Pike. Dinner will be available for a donation, and more information will be posted on the website.
