Muerhoff (D) plans to run for re-election as RICO regional superintendent of schools
Rock Island County Regional Superintendent of Schools Tammy Muerhoff has announced her campaign for re-election, bringing more than two decades of hands-on classroom experience, innovative leadership, and community commitment to the race, according to a news release.
Muerhoff’s career in education spans every level of the learning journey – from substitute teacher to classroom teacher, parent educator, and regional leader. She taught in Head Start, pre-kindergarten early childhood special education, and first grade classrooms before joining the Regional Office of Education (ROE) in 2002 as a parent educator, where she guided families through developmental milestones and early learning success.
She was promoted first to assistant early childhood program coordinator, then early childhood program coordinator, and later appointed assistant regional superintendent in 2010. In August 2011, she became regional superintendent of schools.

Under Muerhoff’s leadership, the office has earned accreditation through COGNIA, affirming the region’s dedication to excellence and accountability. She also led the creation of the R.I.S.E. Academy (Regional Safe School Program) – a lifeline for students needing a second chance to thrive in a supportive, alternative learning environment. A hallmark accomplishment of Muerhoff’s recent term is collaborative work with statewide and local community leaders to provide a countywide effort to connect families with essential services and strengthen partnerships among schools, early care and education providers and community organizations.
