The Leader

Congratulations to Dalton Rushing (@TCSchools_ 2019) who played baseball at the University of Louisville where he was named an All-American. Dalton was drafted in the second round of the MLB draft by the Dodgers in 2022 and has moved up through the Dodgers farm system by playing for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, Great Lakes Loons, Tulsa Drillers, and Oklahoma City Comets. Your home town is proud of you, Dalton! #endlesspossibilities

We applaud @TCSchools_ decision to opt out.

The Tennessee MIC3 has announced that 44 schools in the state have been awarded the TN Purple Star School Award. This award was designed to highlight military-friendly schools that show a major commitment to serving students & families connected to our nation’s military.

It’s going to be windy - hang in there!

@TCSchools_ will be open tomorrow - Tuesday, January 23rd. If you have concerns about travel, please use your best judgment. Our buses will exercise caution as well. Be safe!

Well, we’re having a hard time believing how slick quite a few of our backroads still are. Thanks to EMA, Sheriff’s dept, and our @TCSchools_ crew for checking roads today. Thoughts also to those who are still w/out water. Schools will be closed Monday 😐

See y’all Monday 🤙

So, Bean has been kind of a punk today! Ms Keith got him this Cheetos Snuggie so he just gives me that smug look and refuses to help check roads. Guess we’ll call schools off for Thursday and hopefully I can try to get him out tomorrow 🙄

What a difference 10 years makes! Dana Blackard Bogard sent in these pictures of her son, Baker, from the February 15, 2014 Leader snow issue and today! Don’t forget to send your photos in to news@covingtonleader.com for possible publication!

More closures and delays are being reported for Tipton County: tiptonco.com/alert_detail.p…

So the plan was to do a little driving this morning and check on things at the office - guess who was waiting on me and wanting his turn behind the wheel. We’re calling it … @TCSchools_ will be closed Tuesday & Wednesday. Stay safe!

FEMA Public Assistance approved two grants: 1- $6,541,373 for temporary schools after Crestview Elementary and Crestview Middle schools in Covington were destroyed. 2 - $1,336,969 for safe rooms, which are hardened structures designed to provide protection in extreme wind events.

FEMA has approved grants totaling more than $7.8 million to reimburse @TCSchools_ for the cost of two temporary schools and safe rooms in these temporary schools after the March 31-April 1, 2023 tornadoes.

⁦@TCSchools_⁩ Special Projects Division had a productive day at their first stop on the Manic Monday clean-up tour (even though it was on a Tuesday 😬). Big shout out to this hard working crew!! #endlesspossibilities
