Early Childhood Programs

The Franklin County School District offers 2 different types of Early Childhood Programs. The Voluntary PreK Program (VPK) is offered at all elementary schools except for Sewanee.  Acceptance into that program is based on income with those at risk being priority. The other Early Childhood Program is the Special Education Early Childhood program (619) PK Inclusion classrooms. It is offered at Cowan, Clark Memorial, Decherd and Rock Creek.  It requires that a student meet the Tennessee Department of Education (DOE) special education eligibility standards for a disability and that the disability adversely impacts them to a degree that they need specialized instruction/intervention.
