Weakley County Board of Education: Calendar, Meetings & Dresden Office Help
Weakley County families do not need the same office for every school question. The School Board handles public meetings, board policies and district governance, while registration, transportation, ParentVUE and school-level questions use separate Weakley County Schools routes.
This guide brings the most useful local information together: the 2026–27 school calendar, upcoming Board meetings, current Board members, the Dresden central office, the district’s 10 schools, registration, transportation contacts and the right place to verify meeting records.

Weakley County Schools 2026–27 calendar: dates families should save

Weakley County School Board meetings: upcoming 2026–27 dates
Weakley County rotates regular School Board meetings among district schools instead of using one permanent meeting room for every month. The official page says Board meetings are open to the public.

Official-page label issue: the district’s School Board page currently places these dates under a “2025–2026 School Year” heading even though the dates shown run from August 2026 through June 2027. Use the actual listed dates and check the live Board page before attending.
The district says Board meetings are open to the public and lists 731-364-2247 for questions.
How to find a Weakley County Board agenda or meeting minutes
The district keeps upcoming agenda information separate from its meeting-minutes archive. When researching a Board decision, use the meeting date first so you do not mix an agenda with the later official minutes.
Open the School Board page
Start with the district’s official Board page, which links the upcoming meeting agenda, members, minutes and Board policies.
Confirm the correct date and school
Meeting locations rotate around Weakley County, so checking only the month is not enough.
Use the agenda before the meeting
The agenda shows planned business. It should not be treated as proof that a proposed action passed.
Use minutes for past Board action
The Meeting Minutes page currently includes 2026–27 entries for Aug. 6, Aug. 11 and Sept. 3, plus prior school-year archives.
Weakley County School Board members by district
The Weakley County School Board has nine elected members, each representing a district. Individual members exercise Board authority through official Board action rather than acting alone on school-system business.
| District | Board member | Current role listed |
|---|---|---|
| District 1 | Gath Meeks | Board member |
| District 2 | Beau Atkins | Board member |
| District 3 | Jeff Floyd | Board member |
| District 4 | Martin Hamlin | Vice-Chair |
| District 5 | Wendell Cates | Board member |
| District 6 | Steve Vantrease | Legislative Liaison |
| District 7 | Doug Sims | Board member |
| District 8 | John Hatler | Board member |
| District 9 | Josh Moore | Board Chair |
| Board office | Patricia Adams | Board Secretary |
Board membership and officer roles can change. Use the live member page before sending formal correspondence.
Public comment at Weakley County School Board meetings
The official School Board page links a specific Request for Public Comment Form and says meetings are open to the public. Because participation procedures can change, use the current form and meeting notice instead of assuming another Tennessee district’s time limit or sign-up process applies in Weakley County.
Planning to speak?
Open the current public-comment request form from the School Board page and follow the instructions attached to that meeting.
Keep student matters private
A public Board meeting is not the right place to publish a student’s education record, health information, discipline details, disability information or private family facts.
Better route for individual problems: start with the teacher, principal or relevant district department when the concern affects one student. Board meetings are designed for public Board business rather than confidential case management.
Weakley County Board of Education office in Dresden
Before driving to Dresden: school registration, transportation questions and student-specific records may be handled more directly by a school or department. Call the district first if you are unsure which office you need.
Weakley County Schools and grade levels
Weakley County’s school structure varies by community. Dresden uses separate elementary, middle and high schools; Martin uses primary, elementary, middle and Westview High School; Gleason and Greenfield serve Pre-K through grade 12 in one school; Sharon serves Pre-K through grade 8.
| School | Grades listed by district | Community |
|---|---|---|
| Dresden Elementary School | Pre-K–4 | Dresden |
| Dresden Middle School | 5–8 | Dresden |
| Dresden High School | 9–12 | Dresden |
| Gleason School | Pre-K–12 | Gleason |
| Greenfield School | Pre-K–12 | Greenfield |
| Martin Primary School | Pre-K–2 | Martin |
| Martin Elementary School | 3–5 | Martin |
| Martin Middle School | 6–8 | Martin |
| Westview High School | 9–12 | Martin |
| Sharon School | Pre-K–8 | Sharon |
Why this matters: a Martin family may use different buildings as a child moves from primary to elementary to middle and then Westview High School. Use the correct school office for attendance, teacher contact, school events and daily student questions.
Weakley County Schools registration and open enrollment
The district’s Registration page separates Pre-K and Kindergarten pre-registration, Online Registration, Registration Forms and Information, and Open Enrollment. Families who are new to the district should start there instead of downloading an old school-year form from search results.
Open the official Registration page
Use the district page to identify the registration route that applies to your child.
Choose the right process
Pre-K/Kindergarten pre-registration, general online registration and open enrollment are separate options.
Use the current school-year forms
Requirements can change. Follow the files and links currently posted by Weakley County Schools rather than a saved form from a prior year.
Call when your situation is unclear
The Registration page directs families to the district at 731-364-2247 when they need help.
Weakley County school bus and transportation contacts
Bus questions belong with the Maintenance and Transportation department rather than the School Board member representing your district. The district staff directory identifies a transportation supervisor, transportation secretary and Bus Garage contact.
Transportation Supervisor
Kirsten Rook is listed as Transportation Supervisor in Maintenance and Transportation.
Transportation Secretary
Mandy Boaz is listed as Transportation Secretary.
Route changes
For pickup times, route changes or weather-related transportation questions, confirm with the school or transportation department instead of relying on an old route sheet.
ParentVUE, ClassLink and district communication
Weakley County Schools provides ParentVUE for student information such as assignments, scores, attendance, schedules, transcripts and graduation status. ClassLink is the district’s single-sign-on route for student learning tools.
ParentVUE
Use ParentVUE for near-real-time student academic and attendance information rather than calling the Board office for account details.
ClassLink
ClassLink gives students one sign-on route to district learning applications and digital resources.
Account safety: never post a ParentVUE password, student ID, transcript, schedule or private education record on an unofficial website or public Board comment form.
Common Weakley County BOE search mistakes
The Board page says 2025–26 but shows 2026–27 dates
Use the actual meeting dates shown on the live page and verify again before attending. The current heading and listed dates do not align.
You went to the wrong school for a Board meeting
Weakley County rotates meeting locations. Check the exact month instead of assuming every meeting is held at the Dresden central office.
You need a student record
Contact the school or appropriate district office. Board meeting minutes and student education records are different categories of records.
You need a bus route
Use Transportation or your school office rather than contacting an individual Board member about day-to-day route information.
You found an old registration form
Return to the live Registration page so the form, school year and enrollment route match the current district process.
You need statewide education policy
Use the Tennessee State Board of Education rather than the Weakley County Board for statewide rules and policy matters.
