Committed to Diversity
We know that students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and loved. One way we do this is through our commitment to ensuring our employees represent the diverse backgrounds of our students and families. Bristol Tennessee City Schools partnered with other local school districts and the United Ways of Northeast Tennessee to form the DEI Teach Initiative. The mission of this project is to recruit, support, and retain outstanding candidates of color for our school districts.
