Who makes decisions for Charlotte Elementary?

District-governed elementary school

Charlotte Elementary is a PK–5 school governed by the Dickson County Board of Education. The board's published minutes cover district budgets and policies and sometimes name individual school projects.

District board

The Dickson County Board of Education approves budgets, contracts, policies, and major facilities work for the school.

School leadership

The official district directory identifies Malissa Johnson as principal, with Cindy Caldwell and Sara Cunningham as assistant principals.

School-level public record

The school publishes family information and newsletters, but no recurring school council minutes were found on its current official site.

Board minutes do not capture every operational choice made at the school, so absence from the minutes is not evidence that nothing changed.
