Episode Synopsis
To arm or not to arm? Teachers, we're talking about. That was a major point of discussion last week at the Knox County school board, and it led to a resolution that more-or-less says that the board would prefer not to have non-security personnel bringing concealed weapons to school. But the discussion again highlighted the partisan divide on the nine-member board, as Scott and Jesse discuss in this week's episode. Also: It's budget time. The guys look at proposed 2024-25 budgets for the University of Tennessee's flagship Knoxville campus and for Knox County government, along with the city's updated capital improvements plan. Plus, an update on that convoluted reading retention law and how it will affect this year's 3rd- and 4th-graders. Then it's a look ahead to next week's meetings of County Commission and City Council.
