DeKalb County School District’s 2019 test results have been released and reflect a Satisfactory rating. The test scores are generated from the TNReady assessment which is based on the state testing system for 3rd through 12th grades. Result highlights for DeKalb County students and teachers based on last year’s testing results are as follows:

DeKalb County High School Rate: Graduation Rate and Ready Graduate

(ACT requirements and Early Post-Secondary Opportunities) Rate: 3 out of 4

DeKalb West School Achievement Rate: 4 out of 5

DeKalb Middle School Numeracy Rate: 5 out of 5

Northside Elementary School Literacy Rate: 3 out of 5

Smithville Elementary School Portfolio Rate: Data not released from TN State Department

The school district’s future goal is to improve the Satisfactory determination rate to an Advancing determination rate for the 2019-2020 school year. Plans are in place to increase that rating by examining our practices, reviewing the curriculum, and meeting the individualized needs of students and teachers.

Tennessee’s statewide three-day archery private lands only/antlered only deer season will be held Aug. 23-25. In addition, a newly-created muzzleloader/archery, antlered only hunt for the new Unit CWD for private lands and selected public lands will take place.

Unit CWD hunting regulations only apply to CWD positive counties of Fayette, Hardeman, and Madison and CWD high-risk counties of Chester, Haywood, McNairy, Shelby, and Tipton. Deer taken in Unit CWD have the option for voluntary CWD sampling. If a hunter wants a deer tested, he/she may visit a processor or submit a head in a drop off freezer location. The processors and freezer locations can be found at CWDinTennessee.com.

The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission voted last year to establish the 3-day season to give hunters an opportunity to harvest a buck with velvet-covered antlers. Outside of the CWD Unit, The hunt is not open on any Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s wildlife management areas. A list of the Unit CWD public lands open for the hunt is available online at http://www.eregulations.com/tennessee/hunting/unit-cwd/ or on page 35 of the 2019-20 Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide.

The annual bag limit for antlered deer is two, no more than one per day. Deer taken during this three-day hunt will count toward the bag limit.
