Grant Overview

Operations first for Tennessee reading advocacy requires mapping existing school and nonprofit delivery schedules across the 15 counties classified as economically distressed by the Appalachian Regional Commission. These counties record 27 percent of students without home internet, according to the Tennessee Department of Education’s 2023 connectivity survey. Partnerships must therefore route physical materials through existing food bank and health department stops rather than standalone events.

Workforce constraints appear in the 14 percent vacancy rate for certified media specialists in Appalachian districts. Applicants document that every delivery point already hosts at least one weekly visit from a county extension agent or school nurse who can accept and log returned books.

Implementation uses standardized pickup logs printed on waterproof stock and deposited at county health departments monthly. The state comptroller’s office audits these logs against the Tennessee Bookmobile Cooperative roster. Budget line items are limited to $7,400 total, with transportation fuel documented by receipt rather than mileage estimates.

Unlike Kentucky programs, Tennessee requires proof that all partner organizations appear on the state’s current distressed county service provider list.

Who Should Apply in Tennessee Tennessee applicants must be school districts or 501(c)(3) entities that have executed at least one memorandum of understanding with a county health department in the past 24 months. Awards stay under $7,400, and every title purchased must appear on the Tennessee Department of Education’s approved supplemental reading list.
