JACKSON, Tenn. — Members of the Jackson-Madison County Education Committee met on Tuesday.

Members got the chance to reestablish the Education Foundation and elect officers.

“I’m excited that we have reestablished the committee; that we’re getting the ball back rolling and these funds aren’t just forgotten,” said Sherry Franks, a school board member.

Franks says the next step is to meet with the city and county to determine how much money is there for the school system.
