In the battle over where the Sumner County Republican Assembly is allowed to meet, Kurt Riley and the SCRA scored a legal victory over County Mayor Anthony Holt recently.
The Hendersonville Standard has more:
“I was not aware that the building was being leased out by the volunteer fire department for use by the public,” she said. “It took me a few days to review our insurance policy on the property you referenced. It is okay for the group to meet there.”
When contacted by a reporter, Dennen said she didn’t know what reason Holt gave for saying the group couldn’t meet at the facility.
While the county owns the building, it has given the volunteer fire department the ability to run it, Dennen noted.
“If the fire department leases the facility out to various groups, I said OK, when you do it for one, you’ve got to do it for anyone that wants to use it,” she added.

The Hendersonville Standard has the story:
After playing to a 0-0 draw during their regular season match-up, Station Camp and Ellis entered Wednesday afternoon's Sumner County Middle School Girls Soccer League Championship Game with identical 7-0-1 records. Station Camp defeated White House 4-1 in their Semifinal matchup, while Ellis knocked off Rucker-Stewart 1-0 to advance to Wednesday's championship.
Station Camp kept battling and Laura Hendricks was finally able to knock one past Ellis's goalkeeper, Lilli Hawn, to cut the Ellis lead to 2-1 with just under 10 minutes to play. It was a fury until the final whistle, but Ellis's strong defense was able to hold off the Bison's offensive attack to secure the victory.
The Championship is the Cougars' third straight and sixth overall. Coach Kelsey Plummer stated after the game, "I'm so proud of my girls. They played their hearts out today. Station Camp is a very strong team, very well-coached, and it was a battle until the very end. It feels great to bring home another championship to Ellis!”

Sumner County Director of Schools Del Phillips updated the School Board on enrollment numbers in light of COVID-19, according to a recent story in the Tennessean:
Phillips said that Sumner County Schools had 29,177 students enrolled during the first 20 days of the school year. That is roughly a thousand students less than last school year.
“Approximately 1,450 students chose to home school,” Phillips said. “In comparison, that's usually around 150, so a pretty sizable number chose to homeschool.”
Phillips also reported that 4,100 students have enrolled in the Sumner County Virtual Academy, with 2,600 of those students being K-8, during the first nine weeks of the school year. About 550 of the K-8 virtual learners are returning to the classroom after fall break, he said.
