Posted by Jim Ridley on Wed, May 18, 2011 at 7:13 AM
The CP's Joey Garrison reports than an overwhelming majority of teachers at Hillsboro and Cane Ridge High Schools do not feel that their schools are safe:
More than 57,000 educators statewide took part in the TELL Tennessee survey, billed as the first statewide opportunity for teachers and faculty to provide input on a host of educational issues. The state released 2011 results earlier this month.Teachers were asked to rate how strongly they agree or disagree on a series of matters including the statement, “The faculty work in a school environment that is safe,” which fell under the poll category “Managing Student Conduct.”
On this question, only 35.6 percent of Hillsboro High School teachers and 37.7 percent of Cane Ridge High School teachers responded that they agree the faculty works in a safe school environment, putting both schools in unique and alarming territory when looking at other results.
