TDOE Announces State Spending Strategy For Nearly $4.2 Billion In Historic Federal Stimulus Funding For K-12 Education Wednesday, May 19, 2021
The Tennessee Department of Education on Wednesday announced the spending strategy for the state’s portion of the federal COVID-19 relief and economic stimulus funding, totaling almost $4.2 billion statewide, to benefit K-12 students and schools in Tennessee.
Over the course of the last year, the U.S. Congress responded to the global COVID-19 health pandemic by passing several pieces of legislation to send an historic influx of federal funding to states. Between four major sources of federal relief and stimulus funding, Tennessee will benefit from almost $4.2 billion for K-12 education specifically, to be spent between spring 2020 and fall 2024.

The nurse worked at Northeast High School from Aug. 1, 2018 to Nov. 7, 2019 and was let go by CMCSS after a Clarksville Police Department investigation charged the nurse with the exploitation of a minor.
Clarksville Police officials informed school officials of federal law enforcement contacting other potential victims.

School Principal Gets Behind the Wheel to Take Students Home Amid Bus Driver Shortage
A Montgomery County elementary schoolprincipal takes bus driver shortage into her own hands by getting behind the wheel and becoming a certified bus driver herself.
Now, she is not only driving students home after school but also working to raise awareness about the issue.
The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System (CMCSS) said in a statement that Emily Clark, the principal at Norman Smith Elementary School, is “determined to be a part of the solution” to the problem of bus drivers shortage.
“I would love to raise awareness in the community of the need for bus drivers,” Clark said in a statement. “I hope we will have community members that want to make a positive connection with students and families.”
It will, though, look different than past end-of-year rituals, thanks to the pandemic.
Sorry underclassmen.
Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools announced Tuesday it will allow in-person proms this spring. The events will follow COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. This formal occasion is important to many students, and CMCSS is committed to hosting these optional events for students this spring, the school system informed parents in a statement.
Last year, proms and graduations were cancelled due to COVID-19.
Prom safety guidelines for 2021 include:
Reduced capacities, which could mean 2-3 shifts depending on the number of attendees and venue size.
Only seniors allowed.
Staff or volunteers to be determined by each school.
