Four Robertson County Schools personnel represented the
district in early November at the National Association for the Education of
Homeless Children and Youth Conference in Washington, DC.
They were:
Danielle Frazier: Family Resource Center Coordinator &
Diversity Coordinator
Lasonya Mullins: Robertson County School Social Worker
Jenni Dusky: Robertson County School Social Worker
Lisa Cobb: Family/School Liaison & Foster Care Liaison
While in the nation’s capital, the group was able to visit with
Tennessee Senators Lamar Alexander, and Marsha Blackburn on “Tennessee Tuesday,”
which is a weekly opportunity for constituents to meet with their representatives
on Capitol Hill. While there, they were able to speak briefly and discuss issues
relevant to Tennessee education and Robertson County in particular. Two specific
subjects were those of homeless youth, and the current opioid epidemic.
Alexander and Blackburn were receptive to the visit and the
resulting discussion. Danielle Frazier
said the opportunity to meet and talk with them was a welcome addition to the conference.
