As students start a new year of classes in the Hamilton County Schools, county leaders are preparing to spell out a long-term plan for addressing a billion-dollar backlog in repairs for school facilities.

Tucker has served as chair of the Hamilton County School Board - and he’s an alum of our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
