JACKSON, Tenn. Jackson-Madison County Schools Superintendent Dr. Marlon King has announced plans to move the district’s Central Office once construction of Madison Academic Magnet High School is complete.
The district announced plans Monday to relocate Central Office to the existing Madison Academic building, formerly Jackson High School, at 179 Allen Avenue once Madison staff have moved into their new building.
The district says the movie will be a step toward a greater investment in the area around the renovated Jackson Central-Merry High School 6-12 campus.
Additional plans for the historic Jackson High School building include a revamped family support program and a safety command center for video surveillance of all the district’s campuses.
Transou was inspiring, passionate and loving to all who knew her.
The Lincoln Elementary first grade teacher was honored by the faculty and staff at her former workplace at Pope Elementary last Friday. The staff dedicated a recently planted cherry tree to the “friend and teacher.” Transou spent 39 years educating Jackson-Madison County School System students, beginning at Pope before working at Lincoln.
The dedication meant a lot to Transou’s family, the community and all those who miss her, Heather DeBerry Stephens, Transou’s first cousin, said.
“She was such an influence on so many people; to see something that will live on as a legacy gives us hope,” Stephens said. “It’s a way for us to never forget the impact she made on us.”

The Malesus remodel for the STEM and Cyber School program has not received the federal funding, but Superintendent Dr. Marlon King says they have already started the process.
“What three phases and what that building will look like, and we will have administrative offices, and then of course teaching and learning options for our teachers. On the back portion, we’ll have the Cyber School for socialization,” King said.
King says they are hoping to have two options in the fall: traditional in-person classes and Cyber School.
