New Knox County ruling opens door to religious charter schools in Tennessee

An explicitly Christian charter school won the right to apply to operate in Knox County after a federal judge said Nov. 6 that a provision in Tennessee law requiring charter schools to be "nonsectarian" and "nonreligious" violates the First Amendment. The ruling opens the door for charter schools of any religious faith to apply for funding from the state. Charter schools are public schools that are operated by an independent nonprofit within a school district. They receive taxpayer-provided funding from the state and must comply with state academic standards and the state's open meetings and open records laws. They are different from school vouchers, which allow parents to apply a payment from the state for tuition to private schools, including religious ones. Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville sued the Knox County school board in November 2025 after the public school district told organizers their application would be rejected because they aim to provide "Christian educational services" by operating a "Christian charter school." The charter school for students in grades kindergarten through eighth intends to focus on "explicit Christian formation and virtue development," according to the group's website . Alongside a classical education, students would learn Bible stories and catechism, memorize Scripture

Senior-less Model girls team still expecting big season

Even after 21 seasons of leading the same program at the same high school, there’s still a learning curve, and there’s still a chance to encounter first-time situations. For Sally Echols, veteran leader of Model High Lady Blue Devil basketball team, the 2026-27 season provides an opportunity for both. It will be the first time she has a varsity roster without a senior. So while there’s a lot of girls looking to her to learn about the game at this level, Echols will be learning how to deal with so much youth and inexperience. However, it’s not like nobody wearing the light blue and white uniforms will know anything about winning. In 2025-26, Model had basically a sophomore-senior roster that went 18-10, finished runner-up in its region tournament and advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. Some of those making up the now-junior class were significant contributors in both the frontcourt and the backcourt. “A lot of tradition here,” said Echols, who led the program to 10 region championships and had 14 teams win at least one game in the state tournament. That includes the 2009 squad that played for the championship. Echols could possibly write her own
