History

The Lebanon Special School District’s mission is “Committed to a Community of Excellence”. The district provides instruction for pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, as well as, services for children qualifying for special education. The Lebanon Special School District of Wilson County, Tennessee, was established by a special act of the Tennessee General Assembly in 1901. Originally, the school district corresponded to the Tenth Civil District. It has been enlarged twice, taking in areas of the Third Civil District.
 
The Lebanon Special School District is funded by: the State of Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement (TISA) Act, a percentage of Wilson County property and sales tax, and the Lebanon Special School District tax. The state of Tennessee allocates funding for each school district in the state based upon the TISA public school funding formula. Tennessee statute provides for a student-based funding approach. Wilson County government is required to provide funding for the current operations and maintenance of schools as determined by the weighted full-time equivalent average daily attendance of students. The Act of 1901 levied a tax on the properties of the district for operational purposes.
