Superintendent’s Report:

  • Friday is last day of school, but summer projects will start following Memorial Day, painting, concrete work, A/C work, etc.
  • New custodial services company starting June 1.
  • Auditorium going up at CHS, roofing going into cafeteria, drywall and insulation going into classrooms, athletic site pricing under way
  • TN Ready testing update – no results returned at this time, therefore no inclusion in student final grades. Individual scores and assessments will be provided when they are made available. State-wide it appears barely any school systems have received their results, even if testing was taken online.
