Jerry Levengood, the director of schools in Rhea County, Tenn.DAYTON, Tenn. – Moving day and updated textbooks were among topics discussed at a Rhea County school board meeting Thursday evening.
Rhea Central Elementary School’s middle-grade classes will be moved to the new middle school next week, said Jerry Levengood, director of schools. Furniture deliveries for the new school will take place in July, he said.
Rhea County High School’s construction is scheduled for completion in time for this school year. The middle-grade classes vacated from the elementary school will create several classroom openings, officials said.
Board member Bill Davault said, “It’s almost impossible to get more pre-k classes, but RCES has openings.”
Levengood agreed that they could take advantage of the openings if additional funding was available.
