Hawkins County BOE to vote on school supply assistance for families

In light of a recent increase in cost of living, the Hawkins County Board of Education will vote on Thursday to potentially provide parents with financial assistance for school supplies. Hawkins County School officials say the instructional supply allotment comes from the General Purpose School fund, and would give county parents 40 dollars for each student.

School district leaders expect this to be approved at Thursday’s BOE meeting, which will provide some relief for parents in the midst of heightened gas prices and living costs.
