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

Christian school wins Tennessee court case challenging religious charter ban

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? 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

Ex-Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet breaks silence on allegations behind firing

Former Heritage High School (Maryville, TN) head football coach and Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet is breaking his silence after being fired from his position at the Blount County school on Oct. 20. A report received by the Heritage High School administration stated that Osovet had attempted to influence the team's athletic trainers to circumvent the concussion protocol during a game against Carter on Sept. 25. A week later, Osovet was placed on administrative leave. According to a release from Blount County schools director Justin Ridge on Nov. 6, an investigation had determined that Osovet had "engaged in unprofessional conduct and insubordination, including actions inconsistent with the district's expectations for protecting student-health and safety". Osovet, who had remained fairly quiet throughout the process, finally took to social media to state his side of things on Nov. 6 "I firmly dispute these accusations and the characterization of my actions throughout this investigation," Osovet posted to his Facebook . "In my 36 years of coaching, I have never interfered with a physician's diagnosis or acted against established concussion protocols ― the safety and well-being of my players have always come first. "My time to speak will come, and when it
