On Tuesday, May 3, HB 130, the bill which would repeal the 1978 Education Professional Negotiations Act, was re-referred back to the House Education Committee to consider a last-minute seventeen page amendment. Making the motion to re-refer the bill was Rep. Jimmy Eldridge (R- Jackson). All teachers owe Rep. Eldridge a “thank you” for his support. The vote to re-refer the bill was 14 “Yes”, 11 “No.” Those voting “Yes” (for TEA’s position) were: Representatives, Joe Armstrong (D-Knoxville), Tommie Brown (D-Chattanooga), Scotty Campbell (R-Mountain City), Jim Coley (R-Bartlett), Lois DeBerry (D-Memphis), Jimmy Eldridge (R-Jackson), Craig Fitzhugh (D-Ripley), Mike Harrison (R- Rogersville) Larry Miller (D-Memphis), Jimmy Naifeh (D-Covington), Gary Odom (D-Nashville), Dennis Roach (R-Rutledge), Johnny Shaw (D-Bolivar), and Harry Tindell (D-Knoxville). Those voting “No” (against TEA’s position) were: Representatives David Alexander (R- Winchester), Harry Brooks (R-Knoxville), Kevin Brooks (R-Cleveland), Joe Carr (R-Lascassas), Steve Hall (R-Knoxville), David Hawk (R-Greeneville), Curtis Johnson (R-Clarksville), Judd Matheny (R- Tullahoma), Gerald McCormick (R-Chattanooga), Steve McDaniel (R-Parkers Crossroads), and Charles Sargent (R-Franklin). TEA members are strongly urged to thank members who voted “Yes” to re-refer the bill.

  • Let Us Give Them Something to Play With”: the Preservation of the Hermitage by the Ladies’ Hermitage Association
    “LET US GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO PLAY WITH”: THE PRESERVATION OF THE HERMITAGE BY THE LADIES’ HERMITAGE ASSOCIATION by Danielle M. Ullrich A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at Middle Tennessee State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History with an Emphasis in Public History Murfreesboro, TN May 2015 Thesis Committee: Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle, Chair Dr. Rebecca Conard ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My parents, Dennis and Michelle Ullrich, instilled in me a respect for history at an early age and it is because of them that I am here today, writing about what I love. However, I would also not have made it through without the prayers and support of my brother, Ron, and my grandmother, Carol, who have reminded me even though I grow tired and weary, those who hope in the Lord will find new strength. Besides my family, I want to thank my thesis committee members, Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle and Dr. Rebecca Conard. Dr. Hoffschwelle, your wealth of knowledge on Tennessee history and your editing expertise has been a great help completing my thesis. Also, Dr. Conard, your support throughout my academic career at MTSU has helped guide me towards a career in Public History. Special thanks to Marsha Mullin of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, for reading a draft of my thesis and giving me feedback. And last, but certainly not least, to all the Hermitage interpreters who encouraged me with their questions and with their curiosity. ii ABSTRACT Since 1889, Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage has been open to the public as a museum thanks to the work of the Ladies’ Hermitage Association.

  • Legislators Demand Teacher Accountability – Demand Legislator Accountability Too!
