Due to the increased level, scope, and frequency of professional development required for our teachers and administrators, a request to allow the use of available stock-piled days for the purpose of targeted professional development for all certified staff was submitted to Mr. Kevin Huffman, TN Commissioner of Education (in accordance with TN statute and TN State Board of Education Policy).
The request to allow the use of two (2) stockpiled days was approved by the Commissioner on Wednesday, May 2, 2012. School Board action was required to approve and finalize the changes to the approved 2011-2012 school year calendar (as noted above).
