This month, State Representative Terri Lynn Weaver (R-Lancaster) and the Tennessee Department of Education announced that Smith County Schools have received district growth funding to support education initiatives in the Smith County. Specifically, Smith County Schools received $35,500.
This funding is a direct result of a Republican-led effort to not only fully fund education in Tennessee but also provide $18 million to cover school district growth.
These significant investments in many Tennessee school districts will allow growing schools to maintain the necessary resources so that they can continue offering quality education for our state’s young leaders.
“As our community grows, so should our schools. I’m delighted to be a part of such a critical effort to provide the resources that our educators need to invest in our students,” said Representative Weaver.
This funding has been so well received by parents, education officials, and teachers that Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam added another $18 million in growth funds to his Fiscal Year 2019 budget.

She is also a member of the House Transportation Committee, as well as the House Education Administration & Planning Committee.
