The Fayetteville Board of Education is seeking applicants interested to serve as the At-Large Position 1 school board member following the resignation of Megan Tullock.
Ms. Tullock has announced her resignation from the Board of Education effective at the end of the day of March 28, 2024. She was first elected to the Fayetteville School Board in 2016.
“It’s been a privilege to serve the community as a member of the school board, and my resignation is in no way a withdrawal of my support for FPS,” said Tullock. “So many wonderful things are happening throughout the district. I am excited for Dr. Mulford and his leadership team, our kids and families, and staff at every level.”
“We are very grateful to Megan for her years of service on the school board,” said school board president Nika Waitsman. “She served through some trying times for our school district, and she was always looking for ways the district could better serve our students, their families, and our staff members.”
The school board will appoint a replacement for Ms. Tullock’s position at the end of April of 2024. Pursuant to Arkansas law, the term for this appointment shall last until the next school election, which will be in March of 2025.
