At the luncheon, officials will announce the to-date sales totals, recognize top-selling schools and students, identify corporate sponsors and thank coordinators for a successful 2015 campaign. Representatives from the coupon book’s presenting sponsor, U.S. Cellular, and the major sponsors, First Tennessee Foundation, Junk Bee Gone, Rusty Wallace Automotive and Stanley Steemer will be in attendance.
The 2015 campaign goal was 160,000 books sold, which would net more than $1.4 million for classroom needs across the county.
The Original Knox County Schools Coupon Book provides funds to meet school needs identified by parents, teachers and school administrators and benefits every student in the Knox County Schools. In its 27th year, the coupon book still costs only $10.00. Of this, schools keep $8.00 from each book they sell; $0.70 support schools with greater economic need, and $0.13 from each book fund the purchase of e-book subscriptions for all Knox County Schools’ libraries.
During the 2014 campaign, students sold 158,557 coupon books, raising just over $1.4 million for the schools. Since 1989, almost 4 million coupon books have been sold to raise more than $30 million for students in the Knox County Schools.
The Knox County Schools Coupon Book now is available for purchase at select retail locations on the attached document. For more information about the Original Knox County Schools Coupon Book, visit

Coupon Book will officially kick off its annual campaign on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2015, at 1:30 p.m., at Carter Elementary School (8455 Strawberry Plains Pike). This year’s book has 28 new merchants (two more than last year), 363 coupons (nine more than last year) offering the most savings ever: More than $11,000, including more than $1,600 in savings in Sevier County. The book is celebrating 27 years and is still just $10.
At the kickoff event, last year’s top-selling student from Farragut Intermediate School will be recognized, and representatives from the coupon book’s presenting sponsor, U.S. Cellular, and major sponsors: First Tennessee, Junk Bee Gone, Rusty Wallace Automotive and Stanley Steemer, also will be present.
The Original Knox County Schools Coupon Book provides funds to meet school needs identified by parents, teachers and school administrators. The 2015 campaign goal is 160,000 books sold, which will net more than $1.4 million for classroom needs across the county. Since 1989, close to 4 million coupon books have been sold raising more than $30 million for students in the Knox County Schools.
The 2015-2016 coupon book is able to offer the most savings ever, more than $11,000, because of generous merchants in the community and improvements in the design of the book. The cost of the coupon book has never increased from the established $10, and because of continuing efficiencies in producing it, $8 from the sale of each book go to the school where the book is sold. Additionally, e-book subscriptions for all Knox County Schools’ libraries are funded by $.13 of the proceeds of each book sold, potentially benefitting every child in the Knox County Schools. Schools with greater economic need share $.70 from the sale of each book; the cost of printing is $.63 per book, and $.54 of the book’s cost go to cover administrative and student incentive cost. In all, 88% of the cost of each book supports students in the Knox County Schools.

The Knox County Schools’ Student Assessment Inventory Committee will host a community meeting on Tuesday, June 2, at 6 p.m. at West High School (3300 Sutherland Avenue) to begin to gather input from the community regarding student assessments. The meeting is open to educators, students, parents and members of the community. The community meeting is part of a broader comprehensive student assessment analysis the school system is conducting, funded by a grant provided by Achieve, Inc. The Student Assessment Inventory Committee is comprised of teachers, school counselors and district administrators.
The purpose of the comprehensive student assessment analysis is to help address questions and concerns about assessment that have been raised by the Knox County community. It was one of the seven community conversations included in Superintendent Jim McIntyre’s 2015 State of the Schools Address. Ultimately, the goal of the analysis is to help ensure that all assessments given to students in the Knox County Schools are either required or useful in informing instructional decisions.
During this phase of the project, a comprehensive inventory of the assessments administered across the district will be created. In addition to the community forum, the school district will also collect input from school leaders, teachers and students through a combination of school meetings, focus groups, individual interviews and surveys.
The June 2nd community meeting will begin with a brief overview, followed by “break-out” sessions where participants can discuss their questions and concerns related to student assessment. Break-out sessions will be divided into specialty populations, such as an English Language Learners small group, special education small group and grade level-specific small groups. After the break-out sessions, the small groups will summarize their discussions for the broader group. The large group sessions will stream live on
knoxschools.org/kcstv and can be viewed live on Comcast cable channel 10 or AT&T U-verse channel 99.
Please note that two or more Board of Education members could be present.

WHEN:

WHERE:
L&N STEM Academy (401 Henley Street)
ADDITIONAL:
In January 2015, following in the tradition of the first graduating class at L&N STEM Academy in 2014, the Senior Class of 2015 voted to give an original sculpture to the school as the class’s “legacy gift.” The students went about locating an art gallery and artist who would work with them, and they found such a friend in Knoxville’s Liz-Beth & Co. Chief Financial Officer Beth Watkins and Administrative Director Gregg Phenicie provided significant financial support, coordination and encouragement for the students’ vision and contacted a sculptor, Bill Cook Jr.
Tennessee native, Cook Jr. sculpts in marble, limestone and alabaster. He used a rendering drawn by the seniors to create a two-foot-tall sculpture made from limestone re-purposed from the UT campus, just down the road from the historic L&N STEM Academy. The sculpture, entitled, “Guardian of Knowledge,” will rest on a 4’ pedestal in the courtyard of the school. Cook Jr. donated materials and labor for the project. He has a studio on Westland Drive in Knox County, and his work can be seen at Liz-Beth & Co. Gallery, 7240 Kingston Pike.
Established in 1990, Liz-Beth & Co. is a family-owned business comprised of a gallery, corporate division and printing division.
In addition to the generosity of Liz-Beth & Co. and Cook Jr., other business partners donated additional materials and labor. Thanks to Maryville Monument LLC, Stowers Rental and Volunteer Paving and Concrete.
Please note that two or more members of the Knox County Board of Education may be present.
