A MESSAGE FROM

SUPERINTENDENT

DR. MOORHOUSE

Thank you for taking the time to review the Kingsport City Schools Annual Report. It is exciting to
share the incredible work that was accomplished by the students and employees of Kingsport City
Schools during the 2020-2021 school year. I hope this annual report calendar will serve as a source
of information and inspiration throughout the coming year.
In a year that presented many challenges, the children and adults of Kingsport City Schools found
countless ways to overcome and excel in so many ways. Whether it was through in-person or virtual
instruction, the focus on moving forward and continuing to achieve was always the goal to which our school community aspired.
I am incredibly proud to look back on the school year and reflect on the successes accomplished during such uncertain times.
The adaptability and perseverance demonstrated throughout KCS is certainly reflected in the incredible results of the past year.
Especially in these challenging times, I invite and encourage you to engage with your teachers and schools, and to become an
active part of the Kingsport City Schools community. By coming together as a school community, we can best meet the needs
of our students and create the environment that is critical for their success in life. Thank you for exploring this annual report and
for learning more about what has been accomplished this past year. As always, we are excited to share these stories with you!

ICNUSRTRRICUUCLTUIMON&

Throughout the 2020-21 school year, Kingsport City Schools curriculum and
instructional efforts focused on maintaining the highest possible level of
engagement and learning while students attended school in virtual, hybrid,
and in-person settings. Through the extraordinary efforts of educators and
students, learning experiences continued that prioritized the individual
growth of each student. These experiences were centered on the four
critical questions that guide KCS instructional efforts:
• 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?
While the majority of students attended school in-person during the
2020-21 school year, some elected to attend fully online using the KCS
Remote Choice Learning option. Regardless of the educational setting,
educators worked to continually monitor student progress throughout
the course of the school year, adjusting learning experiences to provide
the highest possible level of academic achievement. Teachers worked
collaboratively to support student learning and ensure student success.
These efforts by students and educators reflected the KCS goal of
ensuring that all students are provided the individualized and effective
learning experience that give them the skills to be successful.

ESDPUECCATIIAOLN

To best meet the individual needs of all students, the Kingsport City Schools 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 provides services and
supports to students beginning 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 KSC 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.

state to make the Tennessee All-State band.

KCS student athletes won individual state
championships in tennis (Willa Rogers), wrestling (Tre

TECHNOLOGY

The Kingsport City Schools Technology vision is focused on ensuring students
and educators have access to high quality technology that supports learning
and operational excellence. During the 2020-21 school year, this focus was
especially important as children and adults worked in virtual, hybrid, and in-
school settings. A commitment to providing the hardware devices, wireless
network, and software to meet educational and operational needs was
prioritized.
KCS continues to invest in providing the technology necessary to allow cutting-
edge educational experiences for all students. In addition to the ongoing
purchase of new computer devices through the district 1:1 program, new
wireless access points have been added throughout the Kingsport community.
These new “hot spots” located outside KCS schools allow for additional access
to the internet and increased connectivity for Kingsport
families. Technology staff members have also taken
extra steps to help facilitate increased online learning
by distributing and supporting student devices for both
school-year and summer school programs. This effort was
critical to provide the greatest opportunity for students
to accelerate their learning after a year of varied learning
environments.
The KCS technology vision continues to focus on
supporting the operational and instructional goals of the
district. By doing so, students and educators have the
tools necessary to reach the highest possible levels of
success.

SSEACFUETRYIT&Y

The safety of students and staff is the highest priority for Kingsport City
Schools. A positive partnership is maintained with the Kingsport Police
Department that has allowed for four full-time School Resource Officers
(SRO) to serve KCS middle and high schools, as well as part-time SROs
to serve elementary schools, Cora Cox Academy, and D-B EXCEL. These
officers work to provide a safe working environment that allows teachers
and staff to focus on student learning.

Each summer, school administrators and the Kingsport Police Department
conduct assessments at all KCS locations to identify and address safety
needs. These needs cover areas such as safety plans, mental health,
and the physical safety of school campuses. With the use of allocated
safety funding, areas noted during these assessments are addressed
appropriately. Additional safety funding is utilized to provide part-
time School Resource Officers, contracted mental health staff at school
locations, an anonymous tip line to report safety concerns, and safety
training for employees and school resource
officers.

A key feature to KCS safety work is the presence
of a Safety Task Force, which reviews all safety
efforts for the district. This group, which includes
a range of safety-related community partners,
guides the overall district safety planning. With
the expertise and input of local police, fire, EMS,
and emergency management officials, the task
force is able to continually update district safety
practices for students, employees, and families.
These partnerships are vital to ensure the safest
and most secure environment possible for all
students and educators.

FACILITIES

Reflecting a primary goal of Kingsport City Schools, a strong focus is These improvements, along with ongoing maintenance and custodial
placed on maintaining safe, high quality environments for students efforts, reflect the exemplary efforts that have taken place to make

performs daily operations to support the mission of the district.
Environmental safety due to the COVID-19 pandemic continued to be
a major area of priority during the 2020-21 school year, with additional
cleaning and disinfecting taking place to ensure the safest possible
facilities in which to learn and work. Staff also worked to continually
monitor and maintain items such as hand washing and disinfecting
stations to support good health.
In addition to ongoing maintenance and custodial
efforts, multiple improvements to KCS facilities
were made to advance the goal of having high
quality environments. Projects such as the new
roundabout at Dobyns-Bennett High School and
paving at the D-B bus stop served to improve the
safety and appearance of the campus. Flooring
and surface improvements were completed at
schools such as Washington Elementary, Lincoln
Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, and Robinson
Middle School, as well as the tennis courts at D-B.
A major electrical replacement took place at D-B,
