BTCS NAMED BEST FOR ALL DISTRICT
On February 11, the Tennessee Department of Education announced Bristol Tennessee City Schools is a Best for All District, joining 67 other districts across the state earning this designation. The Best for All recognition program awards benefits to Tennessee school districts that designated historic amounts of federal COVID-19 relief and stimulus funding directly to student achievement and improving academic outcomes. To qualify for the Best for All recognition program, a district spent an amount equal to 50% of its ESSER 3.0 award amount on proven, research-based strategies to raise student academic achievement and participate in the TN ALL Corps tutoring grant program.
