At the work session Thursday night, the board debated a proposal to spend $15,000 to hire a lobbyist to make sure the WCS perspective is heard at the capitol. There was some back and forth about whether a lobbyist would be worth the money. Note that the board recently declined to spend $10,000 to join the Tennessee School Board Association (“smacks of the UN” said one new board member). Thus, if they decide not to hire a lobbyist, WCS will apparently be the ONLY school district in the state to have no professional representation in the capitol during the legislative session.
