Hey Kids, Want To Park At A Williamson County High School? Take A Safe Driving Course

FRANKLIN, TN — Williamson County Schools students who want a parking pass will have to take a safe-driving course and present a signed agreement with their parents starting in August.

Six teenagers from Williamson County died in auto accidents in the 2016-17 school year and the district created a teen driving task force to address the concern.
