Hey there! Exciting news - the State of Tennessee has adopted a new funding formula called TISA, and the Benton County School System is required to submit an accountability plan for it. But before we do that, we want to give you the chance to take a look at it and share your valuable feedback.
You can easily review and submit your comments on our proposed TISA accountability plan by visiting our website at bentoncountyschools.org and clicking on the TISA REVIEW option. We'd love to hear what you think, so please don't hesitate to share your thoughts.
The review period is currently open and will end on October 18, 2023, at the close of business. So don't delay - let us know your thoughts on the plan so we can make sure we're meeting the needs of our community. Thanks for your help and support!
