Program Could Bring Therapy Dogs To TN Public Schools

We may soon see more dogs in schools.

A pilot program called “Beyond Ordinary Learning Opportunities” shows that therapy dogs in schools provide positive results. Last year, 5 schools across the state had the program and they found that they reduced classroom stress and they saw a decrease in discipline referrals.

All 5 of the schools plan to continue the program this year and hopefully more will add it soon.
