Citizens of McKenzie Special School District,
The McKenzie Special School District joins school districts throughout the state to salute their local education leaders during Tennessee’s annual School Board Appreciation Week January 24-30, 2021.
The commemorative week is designed to recognize the contributions made by Tennessee’s school board members, including the McKenzie Special School District Board. School boards are given the tremendous responsibility of ensuring the education of Tennessee’s youth.
Tennessee school board members are chosen by their communities through election or appointment to manage local schools. They oversee multimillion-dollar budgets, which fund education programs for more than 973,659 students in approximately 1,800 schools. Their personnel decisions affect more than 70,000 teachers, administrators and support staff.
