SB 2695 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Cheatham County - Subject to local approval, increases from six to seven the number of school districts and school board members in Cheatham County. -

SB 2695 would reorganize Cheatham County's school governance by creating seven school districts (up from six) for the 2032 election cycle. Each district would elect one board member, increasing the total board size from six to seven members. The bill requires approval by Cheatham County's legislative body before implementation and ensures current board members serve out their terms while a new member is elected in 2032 to fill the additional seat. This change directly affects Cheatham County residents by altering local school board election structures and representation.
