An Alexandria man charged with aggravated arson for allegedly setting fire to the residence where he lived on Lower Helton Road last summer was sentenced in DeKalb County Criminal Court Wednesday
24 year old Shawn Patrick Byrd entered a plea to the charge of arson under a negotiated settlement and received an eight year sentence, all suspended to supervised probation. He will be under Tennessee Department of Correction Supervision by Community Corrections. Byrd will also undergo mental health counseling as part of the plea agreement. He was given jail credit from June 19, 2014 to August 22, 2014
According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at Byrd’s residence on Lower Helton Road in Alexandria. When firefighters found the source of the blaze they thought it to be suspicious and summoned a sheriff’s department detective to the scene. The detective conducted an investigation and discovered what appeared to be an intentionally set fire. Through the investigation, Byrd was identified as a suspect. During the interview with the detective, Byrd allegedly admitted to starting the fire.
Sheriff Ray said the investigation revealed that the fire was set in the upstairs portion of the residence next to the HVAC unit in the closet using a table cloth and a piece of wood. Three other adults were in the home at the time including two downstairs and one upstairs.

DeKalb West School will be recommended for AdvancED reaccreditation by members of an external review team who visited the school this week.
“The External Review Team recommends to the AdvancED Accreditation Commission that DeKalb West School earn the distinction of accreditation by AdvancED for a five year term that expires June 30, 2019,” said Dr. Alice Patterson, AdvancED Lead Evaluator who addressed members of the administration, faculty, Director of Schools Mark Willoughby, School Board member Jerry Wayne Johnson, and WJLE at DeKalb West School in an exit report meeting Wednesday afternoon.
“DeKalb West School is doing a magnanimous job. You come to school every day doing what you need to do to educate the children in your community,” said Dr. Patterson.
But along with the recommendation for reaccreditation, the team cited an improvement priority that must be addressed with a plan of action within two years. “Every school must have one (improvement priority). That’s an AdvancED mandate,” said Dr. Patterson. The improvement priority for DeKalb West is to “plan, develop, and implement explicit, differentiated instruction to engage students in rigorous learning opportunities and authentic assessments to meet the individualized needs of all learners”.
“You know you have an achievement gap and you know your achievement gap is with your students with disabilities and your general education population. You have good instruction in your classrooms but we look at how you differentiate your instruction at all levels. Your RTI (Reading to Intervention) addresses your struggling learners but your students who are proficient moving to advanced, what do you do to differentiate that instruction? What do you do to challenge those students? How do you level learning within your classroom? We need to work with all of our students with the individual needs of those students at the level those students are going to be successful. We’re suggesting that you increase your professional development opportunities for classroom teachers to utilize data, with fidelity, to improve and differentiate instruction, ” said Dr. Patterson.
The AdvancED external review team, made up of four Middle Tennessee educators, met with eighty seven stakeholders in conducting its evaluation of DeKalb West including two members of the administrative team, twenty four members of the instructional team, eleven support staff, seven parents or members of the community, two school board members, and forty one students. The school was evaluated in three domains “Teaching and Learning Impact on Student Performance”, “Capacity of Leadership to guide and ensure effectiveness in carrying out the strategic direction of the institution”, and “Utilization of Resources”.
According to Dr. Patterson, the Index of Education Quality results for DeKalb West School exceeded the expected criteria as well as with other institutions in the AdvancED Network nationally. ” We take the three domains and use all of our data and standards indicators to make the connection between what we found locally to a national ranking,” she said.
*DeKalb West School’s overall IEQ score was 294.87 compared to the AdvancED Network Average of 282.79 (All schools in the network nationally evaluated over the last 12 months)
*Teaching and Learning Impact on student performance: DeKalb West School IEQ Score:291.67. AE Network Average 274.14
*Capacity of Leadership to guide and ensure effectiveness in carrying out the strategic direction of the institution. DeKalb West School IEQ Score: 297.73. AE Network 296.08.
*Resource Utilization: DeKalb West School Score: 300.00. AE Network Average 286.32.
A written external report will be prepared and sent to the AdvancED Tennessee Commission for approval and then to the regional office in Atlanta for final action on reaccreditation in June.
Members of the AdvancED External Review Team who visited DeKalb West School, in addition to Lead Evaluator Dr. Alice Patterson were Dr. Suzanne Harris, Dean of School of Education at Travecca Nazarene University; Berthena Nabaa-McKinney of the Nashville International Academy, a private Pre-K through 8th grade school; and Mae Fowler of the Putnam County School System. Dr. Patterson is a member of the faculty at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville.
The AdvancED Network was created as a result of a merger of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools with the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. “Several years ago SACS merged with North Central and created AdvancED which was the K-12 component for accreditation purposes. AdvancED is now a global leader in providing continuous improvement and accreditation services to over 32,000 institutions serving 20 million students worldwide. Our office is in Atlanta, Georgia serving this region. Our state office is in Nashville,” said Dr. Patterson.
DeKalb Middle and Smithville Elementary are also to be evaluated for reaccreditation this year. Northside Elementary was recommended for reaccreditation in late January. DCHS was reaccredited last year.

Should you have to declare a political party affiliation to be able to vote in a primary election?
State Senator Mae Beavers believes you should and she has filed legislation, which if approved by the general assembly, would require close primaries.
The bill states that any person registered to vote prior to July 1, 2016, shall declare a statewide political party affiliation at the first primary election in which the person casts a vote which is held following such date. The county election commission shall then add that information to the voter’s permanent registration record.
A qualified voter who desires to declare a statewide political party affiliation prior to a primary election or to alter a previously selected statewide political party affiliation may do so in accordance with state law.
A voter choosing not to select a statewide political party affiliation shall not be eligible to vote in a primary election. “I’m all for that bill. Both parties have crossovers at times. For example, in our county (Wilson) with the Republican party because we’re over 100,000 (population) we’re having to have precinct elections to elect our executive committee for the party. Because of some people that have been crossing over to vote in the Republican Primary, those people have been able to come in and vote in our executive committee election. That should not be happening. I think it (closed primaries) is a good move. Many other states have it already and it allows just the people within your party to be able to vote in primaries,” said Senator Beavers.
The bill has been placed on the Senate State and Local Government Committee Calendar for Tuesday, March 10.
Meanwhile, Senator Beavers said she and State Representative Mark Pody are co-sponsoring legislation to prohibit a relative of an elected official from serving on an election commission. “We actually have that in one of our counties right now although an elected official right now cannot have someone work the election. So it only makes sense that they can’t be appointed to the election commission because if you have a relative on it, really they’re going to be barred from doing their job anyway on election day simply because they are related to somebody on the ballot,” she said.

A Home Health Nurse enroute to see a patient lost control of her vehicle due to ice on Adamson Branch Road Friday morning. The 2001 GMC Yukon overturned on its side. The driver, 32 year old Margaret Becerril of McMinnville was not seriously hurt.
Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that Becerril was driving west on Adamson Branch Road when her vehicle slid off the side of the ice covered road on a downhill grade, struck an earthen embankment, and overturned onto its side. The Yukon then slid another 30-50 feet before coming to a stop, according to Trooper Johnson.
Initial reports were that the woman may have been trapped, but Trooper Johnson said Becerril managed to get out of the vehicle on her own. County Fire Chief Donny Green and Joe Johnson of the Smithville-DeKalb County Rescue Squad reached the site in four wheel drive trucks but because of the icy condition of the road, neither an ambulance nor other emergency vehicles could get there. Members of the Rescue Squad eventually were able to access the scene with a gator and used it to transport the woman back down the hill to an awaiting ambulance.
She was taken by DeKalb EMS to DeKalb Community Hospital. According to Trooper Johnson , the woman was not hurt in the accident, but may have sprained her ankle while getting out of the vehicle.
