Christy Armstrong reports: Cleveland City Schools this year is taking a new approach to kindergarten registration.
Rather than having separate registration events at each school, the district is planning large-scale registration events this week in Cleveland High School’s Raider Arena.
The events, which take place from 1 to 7 p.m. this Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, are open to the families of students who will be starting kindergarten this fall.
Parents can start the registration process online at www.clevelandschools.org or register during the event. They will then visit a series of stations to complete all the steps needed for registration, including verifying that students have all their immunizations. Teachers will also be on hand to conduct kindergarten screenings, which involve briefly evaluating a students’ skills.
To enroll in kindergarten this year, a child must be 5 years old on or before Aug. 15. Parents must attend with their children and be able to show proof of residency, the child’s birth certificate and Social Security card, and proof of a recent doctor’s physical examination. Children must also have their vaccinations up to date before school starts in August.
Anyone with questions about the registration process can contact the Cleveland City Schools administrative offices at 423-472-9571.

Autumn Hughes reports: The Bradley County Commission reviewed a list of priorities — which ranged from salaries to infrastructure to reducing debt — at its work session Monday night.
Chairman Johnny Mull said after he was elected as chairman last fall, he began to receive questions from constituents about the county commission’s priorities. He asked the commissioners to submit a list of three to five priorities they want to focus on, and reviewed that list Monday.
Mull said there were 70 responses and all 14 commissioners participated.
Mull presented the priorities list in both a graph of the top response categories and a “word cloud” where the size of the word increases based on how many times it is mentioned.
The top three response categories were salaries, education, and infrastructure.
