Tennessee is required to fund public schools, not private | Letter

According to recent articles, due to a decision by the Knox County Commission to redirect approximately $4 million of tax revenues to other expenses and an additional reduction of state funding by approximately $3.8 million, for the 2026-27 school year there is a $7.8 million budget shortfall for Knox County Schools. Current proposals to address the shortfall include closing some smaller schools , changing bus routes and changing when schools start and end each day, each of which could adversely affect students and their families For the 2026-27 school year, the state of Tennessee has provided funding of over $150 million for approximately 20,000 students to attend private schools. Dollars per scholar: How much it costs to educate each KCS student, sorted by school The Constitution of the state of Tennessee requires the state to "provide for the maintenance, support and eligibility standards of a system of free public schools." On the other hand, the choice to fund private schools is not mandated by the Constitution; instead it was a political decision by a majority of the legislature and the governor. In a state that already has an average spending per student that is the eighth lowest in the U.S.,

Christian school wins Tennessee court case challenging religious charter ban

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly

Greene Devils advance to quarterfinals with gritty win over Upperman

The inclement weather may have kept the normally explosive Greene Devils offense at bay Friday night, but a strong defensive effort and a steady ground attack saw Greeneville (12-0) advance to the quarterfinals of the Class 4A playoffs after a 21-7 win over Upperman. “I’m proud of how our guys bounced back from adversity, it’s a 7-7 game, but the guys kept on playing hard, battled adversity, played for four quarters,” said Greeneville head coach Eddie Spradlen. “I challenged this team to get back in the ring and keep on fighting. They fought for four quarters against a really talented football team.” Jude Dyer led the way for the Greene Devils’ offense Friday night, finishing the evening with 192 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. “He ran unreal during that first quarter. I challenged him at halftime that I wanted to see his best, and that’s what we got in the second half,” Spradlen said. “He really ran the football hard.” The ground attack provided enough to garner a lead, but it was the Greene Devils’ effort on the defensive side of the ball that saw the lead stay intact. “We moved the football, but we just couldn’t finish

At 30, Summer Cassidy Decided It Was Time to Return to the Classroom

When Summer Cassidy graduated from high school at 18, she didn't know she would eventually find her calling working with children and families. She certainly didn't know that, 12 years later, pursuing that calling would take her back to the classroom. Cassidy spent seven years as an assistant director at the Boys & Girls Club before taking a position as a receptionist at Jefferson Middle School. The experiences helped her realize how much she valued working directly with students and supporting families. As she learned more about the role school counselors play in students' lives, Cassidy began thinking about a new career. “I was 30 years old when I shared this goal with my husband, and with his encouragement and the wonderful things I had heard from family and friends about Walters State, I knew it was the perfect place to begin this new chapter in my life,” Cassidy said. Returning to College at 30 Starting college after more than a decade away from the classroom was intimidating. Cassidy was working full time. She hadn't been a student since graduating high school. Now, she had to figure out how to balance a career, coursework and the responsibilities of everyday life.

Cosby runs out of bullets in 54-46 shootout loss to Whitwell

COSBY — Firepower on offense was never in short supply for the Cosby High School football team this season. The second round of the postseason was no different. The Eagles scored seven touchdowns in a TSSAA 1A state playoff tilt with Whitwell, but it wasn’t quite enough as the visiting Tigers scored a 54-46 victory on Friday night at Virgil Ball Stadium to advance to the quarterfinals, when they’ll visit Coalfield on Nov. 20. In Friday’s contest, the teams found the end zone an equal amount of times, but Whitwell went 6 for 7 on two-point conversion tries while Cosby was successful just twice. "A big difference in the game was (Whitwell's) physicality down there on the two-point plays," Cosby head coach Levi Cooper said. "That's the difference in the ballgame. They were just making good plays. We tried several different things. "Typically, that's a big quarterback run area for us because we know we're probably going to get man coverage and we did. Having the quarterback as a runner typically gets you back even with the numbers, but they were just more physical at the point and got us on the ground on a couple plays. We tried throwing

RCS student recognized for winning contest

The Tuesday, Nov. 10 meeting of the Rogersville City Board of Education saw a student recognized for a significant achievement. At the start of the meeting, the board recognized the achievement of RCS fourth-grader Freya Holley, who represented the school as part of Eastman’s National Chemistry Week. Each year, Eastman hosts a competition for a design that will be printed on t-shirts for the event. All of the students submitted design ideas given the theme of “Chemistry under Construction.” Holley’s entry was selected as the winner, and featured on more than 700 t-shirts worn by local fourth-graders on Tuesday, Oct. 27, during Eastman’s event. Toward the end of the meeting, Director of Schools Edwin Jarnagin reported some of what could only be described as both good and bad news. The school’s enrollment has reached 670 students, a number that he said was the highest since he had been there. However, the high attendance has forced the school to “close the doors” on some grades. In between, the board signed off on additional compensation for some staff members. Any active certified staff member hired on or before Dec. 1 will receive an extra $125 a month. Non-certified personnel hired on or
