McKENZIE — McKenzie’s School Board met Tuesday, April 2, with a short but active agenda on tap. After adopting the regular and consent agenda, High School Counselor Sheila Ridley addressed the board about a recent student trip to the Student Congress on Policies in Education (SCOPE) held in Murfreesboro.
According to Ridley, the annual SCOPE conference is an all-day session involving 300 students from across Tennessee including the four who attended from McKenzie High School. The students representing MHS were Drew Beeler, Isabella Colotta, Momi Deloach, and Cameron Kee. Each was involved in different groups debating different topics involving education such as students getting PE credit for being involved in school athletics, the various consequences for fighting on school grounds, and high school graduation pathways allowing more flexibility with classes. The Board presented the four with certificates for their participation in the SCOPE conference.
