What about the Franklin Special School District?
I’m glad you asked. The Franklin Special School District (FSSD) gets its name from a Special Act of the state legislature that provides the Board of Education its own taxing authority. If you live inside the FSSD boundaries there are additional tax dollars collected that go directly to the seven schools in the FSSD. The idea is for this district to have funds to make sure the learning experience is “excellent for all”.
The FSSD is located in Franklin and is therefore surrounded by the Williamson County School district and the TCAP results are enough to give them the third highest ranking in the state of Tennessee (Williamson County is #1).
Still confused as to why there is a Franklin Special School District? You aren’t the only one. Some people think that Williamson County Schools should absorb the seven schools of the FSSD citing Williamson County’s higher TCAP scores. However, there are strong advocates for the FSSD claiming that the benefits of autonomy give the district flexibility. Regardless here are the TCAP scores for 2013:
