The Mountain Brook Board of Education also selected a committee to choose two teachers from this group as elementary and secondary representatives to be considered for Alabama Teacher of the Year. The elementary representative is chosen from the selected elementary school teachers. The secondary representative is chosen from either Mountain Brook Junior High or Mountain Brook High School.
The board selected Jennifer Jinnette as its elementary representative and Geri Shadeed as its secondary representative.
Both will go on to be considered for Alabama Teacher of the Year for the 2015-2016 school year.
"We want to spotlight these fabulous teachers for all of their accomplishments," Superintendent Dicky Barlow said.
The next board meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9 at 3:30 p.m. at Brookwood Forest Elementary School.
