(From Springfield Public Schools)Ms. Carol Embree, deputy superintendent of operations for Springfield Public Schools, has announced her pending retirement from public education, effective June 30, 2021.
Ms. Embree’s decision to retire at the conclusion of the 2020-21 school year will conclude 29 years of dedicated service to Missouri public schools.
“Our district and community have been incredibly fortunate to benefit from Carol’s steadfast leadership,” said Dr. John Jungmann, superintendent.

“Carol’s professionalism, work ethic and sincere commitment to serving our students, staff, taxpayers and community-at-large is extraordinary. With a financier’s mind and a teacher’s heart, Carol has maintained a perfect balance of effectively using taxpayer resources and meeting student needs by achieving efficiencies in procedures and processes. We congratulate her and know that she will be missed.”
As deputy superintendent of operations, Ms. Embree is responsible for oversight of all operations, including financial and business services, transportation, facilities and construction, custodial and food services, as well as human resources. During her tenure, Ms. Embree was instrumental in the development of a facility master plan and engaged with the Community Task Force on Facilities in its critically important work. This ultimately led to the passage of Proposition S, a $168 million bond proposal, in April 2019. Prior to her seven years of service to SPS, Ms. Embree held similar business administrative positions in the Liberty, Blue Springs and Clinton school districts.
“SPS and the Springfield community will forever be close to my heart,” said Ms. Embree. “While retirement has been an option for several years, my deep connection to SPS and a strong commitment to serving the students and staff of this district have extended my tenure. It has been my honor and privilege to engage in this important work and I am so thankful for the opportunity.”
The Board of Education has accepted Ms. Embree’s letter of retirement and a search for her replacement will begin soon.
