Memorials, Professional Achievement - Shelby Lightfoot, Forrest School Grades 5-8 Teacher of the Year -

HJR 337 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Shelby Lightfoot, a teacher at Forrest School (Grades 5-8), for being named the 2024-2025 Forrest School Teacher of the Year. It does not create new laws or policies; instead, it formally recognizes her professional achievements and dedication to education through a symbolic gesture by the Tennessee General Assembly. The resolution was passed by both legislative chambers and signed by the Governor on April 1, 2025, but has no binding effect or impact on education funding, standards, or any individual's rights. It directly affects no one beyond acknowledging Lightfoot's role as an educator.
