The Dickson County School Board is focused on getting neutral data about growth areas and facilities’ student populations in Dickson County before proceeding with long-range planning.
The board asked school administrators at a special planning session Thursday to move toward gathering more information before committing to a facility plan.
Schools Director Dr. Danny Weeks repeated that education leaders should have a plan ready if County Mayor Bob Rial and the county commission approve approximately $30 million in funding the mayor has said might be available in the next few years for school capital projects.
Weeks again asked the board to provide direction “in terms of administration, in terms of looking at facilities, looking at land, looking at properties."
