With a major winter storm approaching, we encourage everyone to download the school app from your app store (Benton County Schools - TN). While we still use Facebook, the quickest way to get accurate, reliable updates about the school system is through the app.
Please take a moment to read this important message from Director Florence.
During the January 2026 meeting, the School Board made a change to the calendar to close schools on May 5, thanks to the primary elections. You'll find a copy of the updated calendar attached, and more copies are available on the app and website for your convenience.
Due to the thick fog across the county, schools will open two hours later today. If your child's bus usually arrives at 7, it will now come at 9. Please stay safe, as there have already been accidents caused by the fog.

Dear Families and Staff,
Earlier today, Camden Central High School administration was made aware of a potential verbal threat to school safety. Law enforcement are currently investigating the report. Based on their investigation a verbal threat was made by a student, but it's been determined that there is not an imminent threat to school safety.
A new Tennessee law requires school districts to notify families whenever law enforcement is contacted in connection with a potential school threat.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We encourage everyone in our
community to continue reporting any concerns they may have. If you see or hear something that could represent a safety issue, please speak up.
We will communicate with you if additional information becomes available. In the meantime,
thank you for your attention to this update.
Sincerely,
Mark Florence, Director of Schools
