Mike McMillan to support Bible Time Release By Focus Staff Mike McMillan, the Knox County Board of Education member for the Eighth District, announced he would be voting for the Bible time release pilot program. The program is one hour each month and requires the child’s parent’s permission. The pilot program has been started at Sterchi Elementary School. Some seventy students are currently enrolled in the program out of three hundred. A flurryof intense opposition to the program has been generated, large- ly by teachers. McMillan has been communicating with people inside his district, including businesspeo- ple, PTA moms and church leaders. “A community includes everyone,” McMillan said. “I have tried to talk to as many people as possible and I think my colleague Susan Horn was right when she discussed parental rights. “I think parents should have as many practical choices as possible and I much prefer parents making responsible decisions for their child PHOTO BY JOHN VALENTINE or children than the state.” Central Head Coach Bryson Rosser and the Bobcats can hardly wait to get their hands on the gold ball trophy in the post-game McMillan said he thought the pro- awards presentation Friday night at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville.
