Meet Your School Board Member: Erin O'Hara Block

Hi Hillsboro families! I’m Erin O’Hara Block, your elected representative on the Metro Nashville Board of Education for District 8β€”and a proud parent of a freshman and a sophomore at Hillsboro High School. I’m a longtime education policy leader and advocate for strong, equitable public schools.
As a school board member, I work with other board members and Dr. Battle to help shape district policy, oversee the MNPS budget, and aim to ensure every student has the support they need to thrive. Parents can reach out to me when district or state policy is affecting their child’s school experience, if there are facility needs or safety concerns, or if support from the district or city services could make a difference for their family or school. I’m always eager to hear from youβ€”whether you have a question, concern, or great idea.
I’ll be around at school events this yearβ€”please say hello and introduce yourself! You can also reach me anytime at erin.block@mnps.org. Hope you have a great start to the 2025-26 school year!
