Specifically, I'm looking for info on the Knoxville area, but any info from any area would be appreciated.

We are in the Memphis area. Not Knoxville, but still in Tennessee. What's up?

I currently teach in Texas, but am looking to make a move. Eastern Tennessee is where my eye is now, and was looking for info on the school systems there, if they're above/below average, good to work for or not, student achievement, pay, cost of living, etc.
BTW, I lived in Millington for about a year, and really enjoyed it. I did a lot of travelling from there, and that's where my love for the beauty and variety of Tenn. Comes from. Memphis is a GREAT town, but I'm looking for places a bit east of there, wanting more hills and trees and stuff. West Texas is tragically short on both.

Heck, I am just 12 miles north of Millington actually, it is flat and dry here in T-County. LOL
Have you checked the Knox County Schools website? Knox County Schools Human Resources (http://www.kcs.k12tn.net/hr/index.htm)
Here is the website for all of Tennessee Tennessee Department of Education - Public School District Office Web Sites List (http://www.k-12.state.tn.us/weblinks/showmedistricts.asp)

Most excellent! That's what I was looking for, I was just doing it wrong.
Many thanks!

Hey no problem. My mother-in-law works for the T-County School System so it was very easy to find.

We are in some serious need of moisture around here, too--so I know what you mean.
Off topic, but I thought Memphis was in Shelby County?
Also, is Gonzales and Gertrude's Mexican restaurant still open? Or The Hungry Fisherman? Those were two favorites of mine, even though at G & G's they kept getting aggravated at me for ordering a big side bowl of jalepenos. You can take the boy out of Texas... :)

Yes, Memphis is in Shelby County, I am in Brighton. But people recognize Memphis more than they would Brighton, LOL.
The Hungry Fisherman is still open, but I don't think G&G is anymore.
