The Cheatham County School District has been recognized as one of 68 school districts in Tennessee as a Best for All district by the Tennessee Department of Education.
To qualify for the Best for All recognition program, a school district must spend at least 50 percent of its federal pandemic relief funds — known as Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief 3.0 — on proven, research-based strategies to raise student academic achievement.
Best for All districts also must participate in the TN ALL Corps tutoring grant program to provide students with high dosage, low ratio tutoring opportunities.
As part of the recognition as a Best for All district, the Cheatham County School District has also been awarded an additional $250,000 from the Tennessee Department of Education. This funding will be used to further support student learning.
The district celebrated the Best for All designation on Friday, Feb. 11 with a special event at the new Transportation Facility on Sweethome Road.
Commissioner of Education Dr. Penny Schwinn joined a host of community stakeholders and school leaders to celebrate this achievement.
Cheatham County Mayor Kerry McCarver served as the event host and presented the district with a Best for All proclamation on behalf of the county.
During the celebration, guests were entertained by Sycamore High School senior and musician Austin Williams.
The Director of Schools’ Student Advisory Council, the East Cheatham Elementary School Dragon Patrol and Harpeth Middle School Student Council were also on hand for the celebration.
The district wishes to thank Binkley|Garcia Architecture & Interior Design and RG Anderson Contractors for sponsoring the celebration.
