ATTENTION RED BOILING SPRINGS
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARENTS
PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE

If you have a child that attends RBS Elementary School, you have a choice to keep your child at RBS Elementary or to transfer your child to another school in the county.  RBS Elementary has been identified as a High Priority school in School Improvement 1.  The school scored 86.2% in Reading this past year 2008-09.  They improved their score 2.8% from the previous school year 2007-08, but, because the State requirement was 89%, RBS Elementary did not meet the required benchmark.  A letter was sent to all students that presently attend RBS Elementary about Public School Choice.  If you did not receive a letter and would like to have more information about this, please contact:

Michael Owens, Principal of Red Boiling Springs Elementary School:  615-699-2222
or
Cindy Gammons, Federal Programs Supervisor:  615-666-2125

[The total number of students eligible for Public School Choice was 366.  One student has transferred under Public School Choice.]

 


PUBLIC AWARENESS AND CHILD-FIND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES

Each school system in Tennessee has the responsibility of providing a free and appropriate public education for all certified disabled children between the ages of 3 through 21 years.  Early detection and treatment of persons with disabilities is very important.

If you know of any individual who may have a disability who is not presently receiving an appropriate educational program or other needed services, please call 666-2125.  The superintendent, the supervisor of Special Education, or the school psychologist will be glad to talk with you.

If you think your child may have a disability and your child is between birth and thirty-six months, please call Tennessee's Early Intervention System, toll free at 1-800-852-7157.  This system will help families locate services for infants and toddlers with disabilities before the child reaches school age.
