Safe and Drug-Free <strong>Schools</strong> Program<br />
Under the Tennessee State Board of Education’s Unsafe School Choice Policy, any<br />
public school student who is attending a persistently dangerous public school or<br />
becomes the victim of a violent crime while in or on the grounds of a public school<br />
that they attend, as defined under Tennessee Code Annotated 40-38-111(g), shall<br />
be provided an opportunity to transfer to another grade-level appropriate school<br />
within the district. Additional information regarding this option may be obtained by<br />
contacting the Director of Federal Programs at 378-8598.<br />
The district must inform and involve parents of their violence and drug prevention<br />
efforts. Reasonable efforts must be made to inform parents of the content of safe<br />
and drug-free school programs and activities other than classroom instruction. If a<br />
parent objects in writing, the district must withdraw the student from the program or<br />
activity.<br />
School-wide programs<br />
<strong>Kingsport</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> has SIX schools designated as Title I schools. Each of<br />
these schools consolidates federal and local funds to promote reform in the core<br />
instructional program. This includes high quality teaching and learning strategies<br />
for students in high-poverty schools so that these students can meet the state’s<br />
challenging content and performance standards. The schools involved are Jackson<br />
Elementary, Johnson Elementary, Kennedy Elementary, Lincoln Elementary,<br />
Roosevelt Elementary and Sevier Middle school. These schools are eligible for<br />
School-Wide status.<br />
School identified for improvement<br />
<strong>Schools</strong> will promptly notify parents of each student enrolled in an elementary or<br />
secondary school that has been identified for improvement, corrective action or<br />
restructuring. This notification shall contain all additional statutory requirements<br />
mandated by law.
