MADISON – Just as one era ends on the Madison City Schools Board of Education, another one is soon to begin, with Tim Holtcamp assuming Ray White’s spot after being appointed by the Madison City Council on May 11.

Holtcamp will officially join the Board on June 1, which elected Dr. Terri Johnson as the new president of the board on May 20, White’s last meeting. Ranae Bartlett will take over Johnson’s previous position of vice president.

Although Holtcamp will be the newcomer on the Board, he is no stranger to the school system, having previously served on several of the Board’s committees.

“We all know each other and I’ve worked with every board member at least a single year,” Holtcamp said.

Holtcamp said he has served on the Board’s principal selection committee, policy committee, capitol planning committee, accreditation committee and the middle school scheduling committee. He began serving on committees three years ago and interviewed for a position on the school board in 2013 and 2014.

A 1992 Sparkman graduate, Holtcamp then attended Auburn University and came back to the area after earning a degree in electrical engineering. Holtcamp has lived in Madison since 1997 and has two children who attend Liberty Middle School and James Clemens High School, respectively.

Holtcamp works for Parsons Corporation on Redstone Arsenal.

“I have a vested interest in the school system and, from working on the committees, seeing the hard work that all other people are putting into it, I just wanted to do the best I could to grow the school system myself and devote my time to help a great organization,” Holtcamp said.

Holtcamp also cited his degree in engineering and the advancement of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curriculum in public schools as a mutually beneficial relationship regarding his future tenure on the Board.

“I’m excited for this opportunity and happy the [City] Council chose me,” Holtcamp said. “I’m looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting to work.”
