Summary
Dr. Linda Cash reported a successful kindergarten registration day with 478 new registrations, the district’s first BCS STEM competition on March 7, an award to nurse manager Tabitha Payne, and noted state testing begins April 14. The report also highlighted extracurricular achievements.
Dr. Linda Cash, director of Bradley County Schools, opened her report at the March 2025 board meeting with enrollment and programming updates. She told the board the district had "a total of 478 new registrations just for kindergarten" from a recent registration event and asked staff to continue outreach to families to increase enrollment.
Cash also highlighted the district’s first BCS STEM competition, held March 7, and congratulated Tabitha Payne, nurse manager and telemedicine coordinator, for receiving the Tennessee Coordinating Health School Service Award. She recognized the district’s state athletic achievements and student delegates to the Tennessee School Boards Association student congress.
Testing and schedule: Dr. Cash reminded the board that state testing begins April 14. She praised teachers and staff for their preparation and asked board members for support as the district distributes test materials.
Why it matters: Kindergarten registrations affect class planning and staffing; state testing and curriculum work shape instructional priorities. The award and STEM competition reflect district programing and staff recognition.
Next steps: Staff will continue family outreach for registrations and complete test distribution and logistics for the April testing window.
