WHEREAS, Dr. Tracy Libros, educator and consultant, retired from the Metropolitan Public School System after faithfully serving in various capacities; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Libros began her educational career in the late 60's teaching at the elementary school level, then moving to the college level as a professor of education throughout the northern United States; and
WHEREAS, after moving to Nashville, Dr. Libros became active in the schools and was a member of the Eakin PTA where she demonstrated an understanding of the needs of a diverse student population, and later served on the Excellence and Equity Committee for the school system, assisting in the development of recommendations for creating a unitary school system which allowed the system to move from a mandatory system to a voluntary system of desegregation; and
