Bradley County schools director Dr Linda Cash will interview for the Knox County Director of schools position next week. Dr. Cash told Mix 104.1’s Steve Hartline that she was contacted by the search firm for the Knox County school system, but that she was also open with the Bradley County Board of Education about the entire situation. Dr. Cash told Hartline that she and her family are praying for the Lord‘s will in this process. The Knox county school system is expected to announce their choice for their new Director of schools by the end of this month.
The Knox County Board of Education announced the three finalists for the Superintendent position: Dr. Linda Cash, Director of Schools of Bradley County Schools; Dr. Jon Rysewyk, KCS Assistant Superintendent/Chief Academic Officer; and Mr. Kirk Shrum, Chief School Leadership Officer of Henry County Schools in McDonough, Georgia.
The board has agreed to offer a base salary of $250,000 for the next leader of the system that consists of some 60,000 students. KCS is the third-largest public system in the state.
A sheriff’s office pickup truck and a school bus were in an accident Tuesday morning in Rhea County. No one was hurt. This happened at the intersection of Highway 27 and Concord Lane. John Argo of the Rhea County Sheriff’s Office says 3 or 4 children were on the bus at the time of the wreck.
Argo says he is not sure who was at fault. Both the bus and the pickup had minor damage.
The K9 Joker’s law proposal, which revises the offense of knowingly and unlawfully killing a law enforcement animal, made it through the Criminal Justice Committee at the Tennessee State Capitol Wednesday. This is one of the first steps in making the law a reality.
Representative Bud Hulsey of Kingsport did raise concerns with the bill however. He noted that depending on circumstances, if someone was to injure both a police dog and a police officer, they could face a harsher penalty for injuring the dog.
The example Rep. Hulsey presented was if someone injures a police dog, it’s a class B felony. If someone was to also injure the officer (again, depending on the circumstance), it could be a class C felony. This would ultimately mean the penalty for hurting the dog is worse.
