2017 Op. Tenn. Att'y Gen. 1 (2017)

handle is hein.sag/sagtn0178 and id is 1 raw text is: STATE OF TENNESSEE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL January 5, 2017 Opinion No. 17-01 Authority of a Priority School to Add Additional Grades Ouestion 1 Assume the Achievement School District (ASD) has assigned Jones School, a priority school serving grades five through eight, to the ASD. May Jones School subsequently add grades other than grades five through eight to those that the school serves? Opinion 1 No. Once a school has been placed in the Achievement School District the school itself may not add grades because it has no independent control over its operations while it is in the ASD. Ouestion 2 Does the answer to question 1 depend on whether Jones School is directly operated by the ASD or the commissioner has contracted with an individual or individuals, a governmental entity, or nonprofit entity to manage the day-to-day operation of Jones School? Opinion 2 No. Once a school has been placed in the Achievement School District the school itself may not add grades because it has no independent control over its operations while it is in the ASD. Ouestion 3 Does the answer to question 1 depend on whether the performance of Jones School has improved while it has been assigned to the ASD or Jones School remains a priority school? Opinion 3 No. Once a school has been placed in the Achievement School District the school itself may not add grades because it has no independent control over its operations while it is in the ASD.
