A MESSAGE FROM
SUPERINTENDENT
DR. MOORHOUSE
Hello, and thank you for investing your time to review the Kingsport City Schools Annual Report.
We are excited to share this snapshot of the tremendous work that was accomplished by the
students and staff of Kingsport City Schools during the 2019-2020 school year.
The 2019-2020 school year may be forever remembered as the year we were introduced to mask-
wearing, fully-virtual instruction, and phrases such as “social distancing.” However, when I think
back on the past school year, my strongest memories will be of pride in seeing how the children
and adults of Kingsport City Schools found ways to thrive through the difficult circumstances
brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. By demonstrating incredible adaptability in times of uncertainty, many success
stories emerged as the people of Kingsport City Schools demonstrated a passion and commitment to excellence. This
report serves as a testament to that success, reflecting the ways our students and staff persevered in such a challenging
environment.
Now more than ever, I invite you to find ways to engage with your teachers and schools, and to become an active part
of the Kingsport City Schools community. Those partnerships will solidify our students’ path to success and are critical
to Kingsport City Schools being able to achieve our vision. Thank you for your interest in learning more about what has
been accomplished in our schools. As always, we are excited to share these stories with you!

COVID-19
The 2019-2020 school year provided previously unheard-of challenges and
opportunities for KCS students and staff, as COVID-19 impacted the school
operations and the student learning environment starting in March, 2020. Due to
the pandemic, the last day for in-person learning took place on March 12. After
a week-long closure and Spring Break, students transitioned to virtual learning
at-home and all extra-curricular and athletic activities came to a close. Due to
the executive order of Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and to protect the health and
wellness of students and staff, virtual learning continued for the remainder of the
school year.
This period of virtual learning revealed new levels of adaptability and versatility, as
students and educators worked diligently to continue the learning process in new
and creative ways. The district’s technology 1:1 plan that provides a technology
device for all students in grades 4-12 allowed for students
and teachers to connect for online instruction and virtual
interactions. Students in grades Pre-K through 3rd received
at-home instruction via a range of methods, including online
meetings and paper/pencil academic work. Educators,
students, and families found new ways to ensure that
learning continued through such unusual circumstances.
KCS operations were also impacted by COVID-19, as
additional disinfecting and procedural protocols were put
in place to support employee safety. Social distancing,
at-home work, and additional cleaning all became a part
of operational plans during the Spring 2020 semester.
Employee groups such as school nutrition, transportation,
and classified staff members adjusted their work to prepare
and deliver meals to children throughout Kingsport during
virtual instruction.
In all cases, the success found throughout the KCS
community during unprecedented times was rooted in the
ongoing collaboration and adaptability of students, staff,
and families.
ICNUSRTRRICUUCLTUIMON&
While the 2019-2020 school year provided its share of challenges, the
Kingsport City Schools Curriculum and Instruction team kept a laser focus
on meeting the needs of students, utilizing the skills of each child to connect
with learning experiences that allowed for the highest possible levels of
achievement. Educators throughout KCS focused this effort on four critical
questions:
• What is it we expect our students to master?
• H ow will we know when our students have mastered the content?
• H ow will we respond when our students have not mastered the content?
• H ow will we respond when our students have mastered the content?
This effort was supported through ongoing professional learning
collaboratives. Teacher teams examined student work to determine
progress and mastery. Additionally, teachers spent time together
in professional learning focused on effective instructional
technology use with Canvas, Nearpod, and other instructional
resources. Teachers worked together in curriculum collaboratives to
ensure digital content was created that was engaging, viable, and high
quality. Administrators took part in professional development focused
on capacity building in order to responsively support educators in the
teaching/learning process.
The goal of such professional learning is to support all educators in
providing an individualized and effective learning experience for every
child, whether in-person or virtually. This delivery of a guaranteed and
viable curriculum is critical to making sure all children learn effectively
and have the greatest opportunity for academic success.

TECHNOLOGY
The Kingsport City Schools Technology vision is focused on providing
high quality, cutting-edge technology to students and staff that supports
learning and operational excellence. This effort is focused on providing
and maintaining high caliber hardware devices for students and staff,
ensuring a robust wireless network is in place, and facilitating the software
necessary to meet strategic academic and operational needs. The district
1:1 device program is a critical component to ensure these needs are met.
The challenges brought forth due to COVID-19 during the 2019-2020
school year highlighted both the need and the opportunities for the KCS
Technology department to successfully impact KCS students and staff.
With students and educators connecting online to continue teaching
and learning, efforts focused on providing the
best possible platforms to ensure this took place
successfully. Throughout the school year, over 1,200
devices were purchased for students, teachers,
and classrooms. Internet upgrades and increased
WiFi access points took place at schools to increase
connectivity.
In both philosophy and practicality, all aspects of the
KCS technology vision are focused on supporting the
operational and instructional goals of the district. By
supporting this goal, both students and staff have
the tools necessary to reach the highest possible
levels of success.

SCHOOL HEALTH information provided to staff on isolation and quarantine guidelines.
SERVICES / Education and guidance have been provided to parents on isolation and
WELLNESS exclusion criteria pertaining to COVID-19. Also, mental health counseling
has increased due to stressors associated with COVID-19. These efforts
In a school year where COVID-19 became a driving influence in how have been vital in supporting the health and wellness of all students and
schools operated, the work of the KCS School Health Services department adults during such a critical time.
was critical to ensuring student and staff health was prioritized. KCS
nurses and health professionals worked tirelessly to serve children and
adults from a position of high skill and knowledge, providing the best
care possible related to COVID-19 and all other health issues.
Since the start of the pandemic, isolation areas have been created in every
school to hold symptomatic students while waiting for parent pick up to
promote social distancing. Every student seen in the clinic (outside of
scheduled visits) are screened for any symptoms of COVID-19, including
a history of present illness, temperature checks, and focused physical
assessment. Nurses have been trained in and utilize
protective personal equipment within the clinics
including gowns, gloves, surgical masks, face shields,
and goggles.
Operational updates occured in KCS clinics, including
having surfaces and equipment disinfected after
every student visit, as well as more extensive cleaning
following the presence of any student who exhibits
any symptoms of COVID-19. Clinics are cleaned at
the beginning and end of each day. A separate well
visit and sick time schedule has been established in
each clinic so that students that are not sick are not
in the clinic with students that are sick. Additionally,
follow-up assessments are provided for each student
that returns to school after a COVID-19 diagnosis.
School Health Services staff have also played a critical
role in providing health education and support.

With over 1.5 million square feet of space to maintain, it’s the job of the
Kingsport City Schools Custodial staff to ensure that all KCS facilities are
given the level of upkeep that ensure students and staff have the best
and cleanest possible environment in which to learn and work. The 70
men and women that perform this work daily do so with a philosophy
that emphasizes quality, student and staff care, and the mindset that
the work is to “make today look like yesterday never happened!”
Throughout the 2019-2020 school year, this task was made even more
challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Adding to the regular
tasks taking place in schools each day, the KCS custodial staff worked
diligently to clean and disinfect all facilities so that the healthiest
possible environments could be maintained.
Significant investments were made in equipment
and product, including electrostatic sprayers for
each school location and hundreds of gallons of
disinfectant. In addition to new and enhanced
operational procedures, staff has worked diligently
since the onset of the pandemic to provide
increased levels of service, taking steps such as
cleaning and disinfecting each bathroom, desk,
chair, and touch-points daily.
With such an emphasis on the need for high-
quality cleaning and disinfecting, the KCS custodial
staff have led the way in providing a high level of
service to keep KCS facilities as safe as possible for
the entire Kingsport community!

department to deliver free meals on all regular bus routes each
school day, as well as provide a pick-up option at KCS schools.
Departmental lines were crossed to facilitate the effort to feed
area children age 18 and under at no cost, thanks to a federal
grant from the USDA.
Over a nine-week period, 313,703 breakfast
and lunch meals were delivered to homes on
bus routes or picked up at a school curbside
by families. During this period, almost 7,500
meals were served each day, exceeding the
average normally served in school cafeterias.
Throughout, safety and sanitation continued
to be a priority for SNS staff, as school kitchens
continued to receive scores of 100 on required
health inspections.
Through the efforts of KCS staff, families across
Kingsport were able to continue to have access
to healthy food during a time of instability.
This reflects the deep commitment held by
the School Nutrition Services staff to ensure
the health and wellness of all children, which
provides the foundation for success in all areas.

TRANSPORTATION
On a normal school day, over 1,800 students ride a Kingsport
City Schools school bus to travel to and from school. The goal
of each KCS driver is to provide safe travel between home and
school, ensuring that every child’s safety and well-being is
prioritized. Each day, over 40 school buses travel a total of over
2,500 miles across the roads of Kingsport, totaling almost a half-
million miles every school year. One feature that continues to be
unique to KCS buses… KCS is the only district in our region to
feature seat belts on all school buses.
During virtual instruction in the Spring 2020 semester due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the KCS Transportation
department quickly and effectively transitioned
into food delivery support, delivering free meals
for Kingsport children on all regular bus routes.
This work was critical in ensuring that food
stability was maintained for KCS families and
provided a valuable service to our community.
This partnership with the KCS School Nutrition
Services department resulted in over 300,000
meals being provided to families in a time of
uncertainty.

SPECIAL
EDUCATION
To best meet the individual needs of all students, the KCS Special Education
department oversees and facilitates all programming and support for students
eligible for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Services are provided for almost 1,300 students age 3-22 across the district.
Through the collaborative efforts of teachers, administrators, and special
education personnel, supports are provided to meet student needs in academic,
social-emotional, adaptive, and pre-vocational areas.
The Special Education department begins providing services and supports to
students at age three using KCS early intervention programs. A continuum of
services continues through age 22, which includes consultation, fully inclusive
programming, specialized learning environments, homebound
education, and related services (speech, occupational therapy,
physical therapy). Services are provided by many KCS staff
members, including special education teachers, speech-
language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical
therapists, vision specialists, deaf educators, behavior
specialists, school psychologists, nurses, and instructional
assistants. These professionals provide wrap-around services
for all special education students in the district.
Students have the opportunity to become involved through
a variety of activities beyond the classroom. These include
the Sparkle Squad, Tribe Games, and serving in the BUDS,
STARS, and PALS mentor programs. Student engagement
also takes place through the Transition School to Work job
training program (which includes 16 community partners),
service learning projects, and at the Small Miracles
Therapeutic Equestrian Center. All are designed to provide
the deepest possible level of involvement in meeting the
individual needs of every KCS student.

SOCIAL &
EMOTIONAL
LEARNING
In a school year where students and staff faced an unparalleled
amount of uncertainty, Kingsport City Schools placed a strong
emphasis on monitoring and meeting the social and emotional
needs of children. This focus was critical to support the best possible
student mental health and to provide the greatest potential for
academic growth. With students throne into a virtual learning
environment for the last quarter of the 2019-2020 school year, this
was especially important as both educators and families worked to
bridge the gap caused by a reduction in face-to-face interactions.
Educators at all schools, including teachers, instructional assistants,
school counselors, and district staff, made contacts with students to
check on their well-being. Having been trained
on topics such as Adverse Childhood Experiences
and trauma-informed practices, staff members
engaged with students to identify, address, and
support individual needs. The use of technology
provided valuable support in being able to
connect in a direct and timely fashion. Effective
partnerships with Frontier Health and Camelot
also allowed for the continuation of mental
health services for students.
Continuing to focus on the social and emotional
well-being of students will remain a priority in
all operational environments. This support is a
critical component of providing what is needed
for all children to reach their maximum potential
as students and individuals.

EARLY
CHILDHOOD
For almost 400 young Kingsport children, Kingsport City Schools
Early Childhood programs provide high-quality care and learning
experiences that best prepare them for school and life success.
Children from six weeks to five years of age take part in paid
childcare experiences such as the Extended Childcare Learning
Center infant class, toddler class, and Pre-K class. Additionally, early
intervention special education classes are offered beginning at
age three for students with identified special needs. State funded
Voluntary Pre-K classes are also offered for children who turn four
by August 15th. All KCS Pre-K classes are fully inclusive, with school
readiness as the primary focus.
A variety of highly-trained professionals make
up the Early Childhood staff, including certified
teachers, teaching assistants, a speech therapist,
occupational therapists, physical therapists, a
health assistant, and school nutrition personnel.
Together, all are focused on delivering the
mission of the KCS Early Childhood program,
which is to develop a successful future and
strong foundation for all students. By providing
a safe, positive learning environment, every child
has the opportunity for high-quality instruction
and care, guidance, and the support needed to
become a successful and productive student!

ARTS
EDUCATION
The development of the whole child is central to the mission of Kingsport
City Schools. All children have a wide range of talents and abilities, and KCS
is committed to providing opportunities both in and out of the classroom
that identify and foster such talents. These efforts are backed by tremendous
community support, allowing all students to be involved in experiences
that provide meaningful growth and achievement.
Through much effort, staff and students maintained a high level of excellence
and opportunity throughout the challenging circumstances brought on
by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though many in-person opportunities were
missed, KCS fine arts teachers, students, and families quickly adapted so
that learning would continue. Bands, orchestras, and choirs developed
virtual performances using individual students performing shared musical
literature, resulting in video presentations that were distributed online.
Visual art teachers collaborated to provide online video lessons so that
students could create visual art projects from home. Music teachers used
online software to provide learning during virtual instructional days. Travel
to events was replaced with local, community-based outdoor productions.
Live-streaming and video recordings were used to bring the students’
products to a larger audience online, while theatre, choir, band, and
orchestra students participated in state-wide competitions, all online.
During the Spring 2020 semester, KCS arts teachers adopted the outlook of
“The show must go on,” understanding that COVID-19 should not eliminate
important student experiences. Instead, it served
as an avenue to discover new ways of creating and
experiencing art, focusing on the process of creation
itself. This approach reflects Kingsport City Schools
commitment to providing high-quality arts instruction
for all students.

SAFETY &
SECURITY
Ensuring students and staff have a safe environment in which to learn
and work is vital so that the highest levels of achievement can occur. To
do so, school safety is maintained throughout KCS via a collaborative
partnership between students, staff, law enforcement, and other
community agencies. During the 2019-2020 school year, the KCS
Safety Task Force continually communicated to analyze current issues,
assess safety plans, and make improvements to current protocols. This
ongoing collaboration allows school stakeholders and outside safety
experts to continually assess the physical and operational issues that
are critical to keeping children and adults safe while at school.
KCS utilized available safety funding to provide
support in key focus areas, which included mental
health services, physical school improvements, and
school resource officers. Addressing health safety
throughout KCS was also a priority, as functional
and physical improvements related to the
COVID-19 pandemic were also instituted. With the
development support of health and safety experts,
improvements included changes in how schools
operated, the ways individuals were physically
protected, and how facilities were disinfected. This
involved the allocation of resources to purchase
items such as safety barriers and high-tech cleaning
equipment.
By strategically providing supports in the areas
identified as most critical to the overall safety of the
district, KCS continues its long-held philosophy of
always seeking to find ways to improve the health
and wellness of all students, staff, and families.

DOBYNS-BENNETT HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CENTER
Opening to students for the first time in August, 2019, the Dobyns-Bennett Science and Technology Center represented the largest capital improvement at D-B since its
original construction. The addition of approximately 70,000 square feet of learning space was grounded in a strategic design process that worked to identify not only
capacity needs, but more importantly, the educational objectives that are critical to the next generation of D-B students. The result is a space that inspires both teachers
and students to explore and pursue limitless educational opportunities.
The Science and Technology Center includes cutting-edge lab and classroom equipment, providing next-gen educational opportunities previously unavailable. Available
space for robotics program development is second-to-none, providing hands-on experiences for students. Technology is utilized to allow for quick and easy mirroring,
to showcase work and allow for seamless transitions between media types. The facility’s physical design provides an opportunity for effective presentations, flexibility, as
well as including as out-of-the-box tools and resources. Furniture is designed with flexibility to allow for infinite classroom setups and easy transitions. Glass is utilized
throughout as a writable surface. And available space is provided to allow for year-long research investigations in science, technology, engineering, and math.
The Kingsport community’s commitment to education is reflected in the design, construction, and utilization of the Science and Technology Center. The facility is not only
utilized for a variety of community involvement events, but also serves to represent a focus on providing students ways to think in completely new ways, sparking potential
career paths, and exploration of a broader range of scientific thinking in all D-B students.
ATHLETICS
In a year where COVID-19 unfortunately interrupted the Spring 2020 athletic
season in many ways, student athletes across Kingsport City Schools continued
the tradition of excellence that has made KCS one of the most successful athletic
programs in the United States. Throughout the 2019-2020 school year, the focus
remained on the development of the character, sportsmanship, and competitive
skill of all athletes. In doing so, students were able to excel in a wide variety of
competitions throughout the year, resulting in multiple regional and state honors.
Though cut short due to COVID-19, the 2019-2020 athletics season was still one
of the most successful in school history. The Dobyns-Bennett Girls’ Cross Country
team won the state championship, with senior Sasha Neglia winning the individual
state title. Two individual D-B wrestlers won state championships, Tre Morrisette
and Jackson Hurst, with Brennan Watkins claiming state runner-up honors. The
wrestling team also finished 5th at the state tournament.
D-B student athlete Sam Cleek also took top state honors,
winning a title in the indoor high jump. Other team
sports making a major impact on the state level include
Girls’ Volleyball (state semi-finalist), Boys’ Basketball (state
sectional participant), Football (state quarterfinalist), and
Swimming (12th in the state final meet). Additionally, the
D-B Girls’ Basketball team won the 2019 Tabernacle Baptist
Thanksgiving Tournament of Champions in Freeport,
Bahamas.
The success found at the high school level is rooted in
the exemplary foundational development taking place at
Sevier and Robinson Middle Schools. This is established
and evident by observing the athletic successes at the
middle schools, where coaches and student athletes work
to develop skills and a culture for excellence. The “One
Tribe” philosophy drives our student athletes to represent
themselves and their school with pride at all times in their
quest for excellence. Roll Tribe!

FACILITIES &
MAINTENANCE
Ensuring that students and staff have safe, operational, and well
maintained facilities in which to learn and work is the responsibility of
the Kingsport City Schools Maintenance department… a responsibility
that requires tireless and skillful attention to detail. The KCS employees
that do this work are dedicated to fulfilling this mission in a way that
provides the best-maintained facilities in a way that prioritizes and
conserves community resources. This was especially critical during
the 2019-2020 school year, in which the COVID-19 pandemic required
attention not only to regular ongoing maintenance needs, but also
those brought about to best ensure student and staff safety.
Utilizing safety protocols and procedures, the KCS
maintenance staff worked continually before and
throughout the period of virtual student instruction
to support the work of educators and staff. A
wide range of safety work was accomplished,
including items such as adding plexiglass barriers
in all schools where face-to-face interactions
could occur, adding floor markings to help control
travel paths, and adding hand sanitizing stations
throughout all KCS facilities. School clinics were
updated to support COVID-19 procedures, all water
fountains were shut off and bottle filling stations
were added, and signage was installed throughout
the district to inform and encourage best-practice
safety measures.
These exemplary efforts have been critical in
supporting and maintaining the safest possible
environment for all KCS students and employees.
