With 9,470 children less than 5 years of age living in poverty based on the 2012 American Community Survey, the Head Start and Early Head Start program combined is only serving 13.9% of the eligible children in the Northwest Tennessee Head Start/Early Head Start service area. The methodology to develop the Community Assessment includes data collection from a variety of sources; surveys completed by currently served parents and community partners; HS/EHS program data; various external data sources such as the American Community Survey, Kids Count 2015 and many others listed under the sources in the methodology section. The following leading trends and significant indicators, identified throughout the Community Assessment, have implications for the program in terms of planning including design, geographic location, approach, and services needed. 1) Poverty- In the Northwest Tennessee Head Start/Early Head Start service area, 32% of children under age five are living in poverty—while the rate soars to 52.1% in Lake County, 44.8% in Lauderdale County and 41.6% in Crockett County. This means over half the children in Lake County and close to half the children in Lauderdale and Crockett Counties also are living in poverty. It is estimated that almost 1 in 3 children live in poverty across the Northwest Tennessee Head Start/Early Head Start Community Assessment March 2016 8 service area. There is also a huge need for more early childhood education slots for children birth to age 3 due to the large number of children living in poverty and the lack of available spaces for children 0 to 3 in income eligible programs and the inability of parents to pay for childcare. 2) Diversity- Northwest Tennessee continues to grow in the area of diverse populations. The number of individuals identifying as Hispanic in origin has grown annually with the most significant gain being in Crockett County. As a result, the number of families with limited English proficiency continues to grow. Based on the above, there is an increased demand for bilingual services, especially for schools, medical providers and social service agencies. Despite this need, high quality bilingual employees are often difficult to find and in high demand by area employers making it difficult to obtain quality bilingual staff. 3) Economy- The economy continues to be a concern for those living in the Northwest Tennessee Head Start/Early Head Start service area. Median household incomes are much lower than the state rate and United States median income rates. Additionally, the Head Start Head Start/Early Head Start population continues to have difficulty acquiring a living wage position that would reduce their reliance on additional services. The average median household income of the service area is $38,794 compared to the state median household income of $44,140 and the United States median household income of $60,119. The unemployment rate in our area continues to be a major issue as well with the rate for the service area being 6.0% compared to a state rate of 4.9% and a national rate of 4.9%. Only two of our thirteen counties have unemployment rates below the state Community Assessment March 2016 9 and national average. Additionally, social service providers continue to struggle with funding, while faced with increased and complex needs of families. 4) Age and Educational Level- Like many communities, Northwest Tennessee Head Start/Early Head Start is facing a significant challenge with the low number of qualified individuals to fill positions as they become available in the next several years. Almost 18 percent (17.92%) of area residents over the age of 25 do not have a high school diploma or high school equivalency diploma. Less than 39% of adults 25 and older in the Northwest Tennessee Head Start/EHS service area have a Bachelor’s Degree or higher. Many on-going opportunities for parents to participate in continuing education

  • A History of Tennessee.Indd
    352 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 353 SECTION VI Tennessee 354 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 355 A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE The Land and Native People Tennessee’s great diversity in land, climate, rivers, and plant and animal life is mirrored by a rich and colorful past. For all but the last 200 years of the 12,000 years or so that this country has been inhabited, the story of Tennessee is the story of its native peoples. The fact that Tennessee and many of the places in it still carry Indian names serves as a lasting reminder of the significance of its native inhabit- ants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for her ancient people as well as for later pioneer settlers lay with the richness and beauty of the land, it seems fitting to begin by considering some of the state’s generous natural gifts. Tennessee divides naturally into three “grand divisions”—upland, often moun- tainous, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee with its foothills and basin, and the low plain of West Tennessee. Travelers coming to the state from the east encounter first the lofty Unaka and Smoky Mountains, flanked on their western slope by the Great Valley of East Tennessee. Moving across the Valley floor, they next face the Cumberland Plateau, which historically attracted little settlement and presented a barrier to westward migration. West of the Plateau, one descends into the Cen- tral Basin of Middle Tennessee—a rolling, fertile countryside that drew hunters and settlers alike. The Central Basin is surrounded on all sides by the Highland Rim, the western ridge of which drops into the Tennessee River Valley.

  • Tennessee – a Tale of Three Climates
    Tennessee – A Tale of Three Climates By Joanne Logan, Tennessee CoCoRaHS State Coordinator, Univ. of Tennessee The flag of Tennessee describes it all: the three stars represent the three grand divisions of Tennessee. They could also indicate the three different types of climate that can be found here owing to the topography and hydrology of the state. The flattish plain of West Tennessee, an extension of the Gulf Coastal Plain, is climatically the warmest part of the state. Temperatures in this area average around 62° F, and precipitation ranges between 46" and 54" increasing as one gets closer to Memphis. The record highest temperature in the state, 113° F, was recorded in Perryville, just to the west of the Tennessee River. West Tennessee also is the most active area of the state for severe weather, and, owing to its presence north of the Gulf Coastal states, is susceptible to the remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes. Middle Tennessee has elements of West Tennessee’s general climate, but East Tennessee’s temperature and precipitation have variability. Middle Tennessee contains the Cumberland Plateau that can record some of the highest precipitation totals in the state, though they are not as high as in the Smoky Mountains. In the summer, the temperatures in the southern part of the region are on par with those of West Tennessee. Nonetheless, Middle Tennessee’s climate is often characterized, especially in the winter, as perhaps the most variable in the state. Snow often falls in the Cumberland Plateau while it would normally be raining in the rest of Middle Tennessee.

  • Origins and Endings: Share Labor and the Economic Effects of Emancipation on the Ames Plantation in Fayette County, Tennessee
    Origins and Endings: Share Labor and the Economic Effects of Emancipation on the Ames Plantation in Fayette County, Tennessee Jason Jordan Introduction In the days immediately following the end of the Civil War in 1865, Southern farmers faced a challenge unlike any they had previously met. It was a time of great change and uncertainty for the Southern economy. The North had won the war, and in the process thousands of black slaves had been granted emancipation. To many Southern farmers who had relied chiefly upon the forced labor of African-Americans for decades in order to drive the Southern economy, this was nothing short of a disastrous occurrence. The principle labor force for a critical mass of the South’s farming communities had been granted freedom and had now set out to discover for themselves what their newfound freedom meant. Some trekked off to attempt to reunite with lost family members. Some moved north in search of better social treatment and jobs. And others simply began trying to find a piece of land that they could call their own. In many cases the lands where African-Americans and their former owners lived, and that blacks were now beginning to leave behind, had been ravaged by the war, rendering it all but useless. In a letter from a Tennessee Confederate soldier, William Milliken, returning home to Fayette County after the war, he recalls the atmosphere of the time. He writes, A few days after the surrender, we were given our paroles and started out to walk home . I left the boys at Grand Junction and walked out to my Father’s plantation some 8 miles.
