Fall District Meetings - South Central
Description
In the fall our kids will be headed back to the classroom. That means it's time
for board members to start the school year off by participating in TSBA's Fall
District Meetings.
During August and September, meetings will be held in the nine
developmental districts to focus on legislative and legal issues and current
education "hot" topics. This year's program will provide school board
members and superintendents an opportunity to discuss issues for the 2026
legislative session and other state happenings.
The event will begin by recognizing school board members, a local school
volunteer award finalist, and a local student who is competing for a college
scholarship. TSBA District Director elections for the East, Northwest, South
Central, and Upper Cumberland will be held after the award ceremony.
