Be certain to address EACH of the following:
a. The need for the allocation;

In order to address our personnel needs, Jackson County Schools is requesting to employ five classroom teachers with Step 7 funds. Because we have
exceeded the limits of the state aid funding formula, it is necessary for us to continue to use Step 7 funds for this purpose.

b. Efficiency and fiscal responsibility in staffing;

Jackson County Schools has utilized Step 7 funding of classroom teachers since 1996-97. Jackson County is also fortunate to have received voter approval
of a 100 percent excess levy since 1968, and sixty percent of that excess levy is dedicated to employee benefits and personnel. With a decreasing student
enrollment trend over the past decade, the Board has responsibly decreased positions as necessary to conform to fiscally realistic funding availability.

c. The sharing of the services with adjoining counties in the use of the total county board budget.



Jackson County Schools shares services and resources with Roane County Schools through its’ offerings of courses at the Roane-Jackson Technical
Center. Jackson County participates with other counties in our region with various professional development offerings. Jackson County also shares
services with other counties in the areas of Medicaid billing and bus operator training
