The April Board Meeting for Trousdale County Schools on April 25, 2025, highlighted significant updates on student assessments and upcoming school events. The meeting began with a report on the progress of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) testing, with only one student remaining for English Language Arts (ELA) assessments and approximately five or six students left to complete math assessments. The school anticipates finishing all testing by early next week.

This year, the approach to TCAP was notably different, with a focus on a more subdued atmosphere. Teachers emphasized a straightforward testing environment without the usual celebrations, allowing students to concentrate on demonstrating their knowledge. The staff expressed pride in the students' focus and hard work throughout the testing period.

Looking ahead, the school plans to conduct the Ames Webb universal screener for third graders following the completion of TCAP. Additionally, several community and school events are on the horizon, including a concert by the singers club and EMS Day, where students can interact with local first responders.

The meeting also addressed the upcoming senior walk and fifth-grade celebration, both scheduled for mid-May. These events aim to recognize student achievements without the distribution of awards, fostering a sense of community and celebration among students and families.

As the school year approaches its end, the administration is preparing for various activities, including kindergarten roundup and final exams for students who have missed significant school days. The board expressed excitement for the upcoming events and the opportunity to reset for the next academic year.

Overall, the meeting underscored the school’s commitment to student assessment and community engagement as they wrap up the current school year.
