Community Forum
(March 20, 2017, Jackson, TN) – The Jackson-Madison County School System is hosting a
Community Forum on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 6:00 pm at The Star Center to discuss the
recent Pope School K-6 decision and additional opportunities for the schools in the
North/Northwest area of Madison County. We hope you will plan to join our discussion for the
families attending Pope School, Thelma Barker Elementary, East Elementary, and Northeast
Middle School.
Dr. Verna Ruffin will provide information that helped form the school board decision for Pope
School to remain a K-6 for the 2017-2018 school year, as well as, provide the opportunity for the
community to give input and ask questions regarding future plans. The community is invited
and encouraged to attend. The Star Center is located at 1119 Old Humboldt Road.
