Instine joins Triad board

By From JT Staff Reports 

The Triad Board of Education has recently announced a change in board membership after long-tenured board member Randy Moore stepped down in March citing personal reasons.

According to a release from the school district, the board of education has appointed Chris Instine to fill the vacant seat. Instine joins the board as a proud Triad graduate with deep roots in the community.

“The board extends its sincere gratitude to Moore for his 21 years of dedicated service to the Triad community. His leadership and commitment have made a lasting impact on the district,” according to the release.

Over the years, Instine has remained actively involved in the school community by coaching, volunteering and serving on several school committees. In addition to his involvement with the district, Instine brings over 25 years of professional experience in customer service, sales, management and information technology. Through this diverse background, he hopes to offer a unique perspective and a wide range of experience to the board.

“Triad is excited to welcome Mr. Instine to the Board of Education, and looks forward to his service and commitment to the district and its students,” the release states.
