On September 13, Tennessee Board of Education members along with many others visited Chester County to have “A Day in the District” of Chester County Schools. The day consisted of the state board presenting their role in education, teacher and student panels where the state board members listened to their thoughts and concerns and a tour of different programs at Chester County High School. A couple of the concerns among students at CCHS included the transition between the junior high and high school desiring more career technical education opportunities. People who attended included: 8th District representative – Mr. Larry Jensen Tennessee State Board staff, Nathan James – Director of Legislative Affairs, Ali Reid – Director of Accountability, Elizabeth Tullos – Strategic Communications Coordinator, State Senator Walley, State Representative Haston, Board of Education members, school district leaders, Chester County Mayor Barry Hutcherson and City of Henderson Mayor Bobby King, County Commission members, chamber of commerce and business/industry leaders, Freed-Hardeman University leaders, and other directors of schools from neighboring districts.
