Arlington Community Schools is the municipal school district in Arlington, Tennessee in Greater Memphis.
History
[edit]After Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools were merged in March 2011 (effective beginning 2013–2014 school year), several local municipalities attempted to create their own districts. After a protracted legal battle, several municipalities won the right to create their own school districts.[1]
Arlington Community Schools provides K-12 education for students residing within the municipal boundaries of the Town of Arlington. Through an Interlocal Agreement between Arlington Community Schools and Lakeland School System, high (9-12) school students in the neighboring municipality of Lakeland attend Arlington High School.[2]
In December 2013, the district selected as its superintendent Tammy Mason, the former principal of Arlington High School.[3]
