Where’s the Department of Education?

I am looking for the Department of Education for Jefferson County and can’t seem to find it. I know that there were problems at their other place and it looks like they have moved permanently. Where are they now and where does the school board meet?

The Department of Education is currently located in the second floor of the First Tennessee Bank Building in Dandridge. The stairs are located inside the vestibule just inside the first set of doors to the bank and are marked as Jefferson County Department of Education. School Board meetings are generally held at the Patriot Academy, though recently some have been at the new Department of Education location. Those who have issues with stairs should contact the Department of Education to make other meeting arrangements, as the current DOE location has no elevator.
