We had a good School Board Meeting on Thursday night, and here is a brief summary: - Twenty-one teachers were voted on to receive tenure. This is a BIG deal, and I congratulate each and everyone of you! - Brighton High School HOSA Community Awareness Team - Leukemia & Lymphoma Society shared an excellent presentation at our meeting. Thank you so much for what you do in our community and beyond. - We received a Press Release from Governor Haslams Office which outlines initiatives to help teachers. Unfortunately, I didnt see any mention of a pay raise. - Dr. Combs mentioned that this would be our final year taking TCAP. We will have an online Social Studies Field Test in 2015, and all writing assessments will also be online. All state achievement tests will be online beginning in 2016. - I proposed a Resolution to Support the Development of New Tennessee Standards by Tennessee Educators and Community Members. It was tabled for tweeking, and will be voted on at the January Meeting. - We received a briefing concerning the REDI/TN Promise Action Plan for 2014-15. 100% of our High School seniors signed up to be eligible to take advantage of this excellent opportunity. - Work has started on the Atoka Elementary School Safe Room foundation, and on the refurbishment of the football bleachers at Covington High School. - On Dec.17th at 11:30 am, Covington High School will receive its third consecutive SCORE Award, a banner, and a check for $10,000.
