Jefferson County Schools will be closed on Monday, March 2, 2026.

This decision was made due to a continued increase in our districtwide absentee rate throughout the week. In addition to student and staff absences, we are experiencing a significant number of bus drivers who are out sick, creating transportation challenges that impact our ability to safely operate our routes.

Our Food Service Department has also seen an increase in employee illnesses, and at this time, we do not have substitute coverage available for food service staff or bus drivers. These combined staffing shortages make it difficult to ensure safe transportation and meal service for our students.

We will also use Monday as an opportunity for our employees to implement additional sanitation and cleaning measures across all school facilities to help reduce the spread of illness and prepare for studentsโ€™ return.

The health and safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.

The WNPC family suffered a huge loss this week, and Cocke County lost one of its most familiar voices. Jim Phillips, known to everyone as โ€œChopper,โ€ passed away Tuesday afternoon at Turkey Creek Medical Center in Knoxville.

Chopper began his career in radio in 1970 and became the morning man for WNPC in 1983. A longtime fan of racing, which included being a member of L.D. Ottingerโ€™s pit crew, Chopper was hired by the Motor Racing Network in 1988, where he became the lead pit reporter and host of the nationally syndicated radio show NASCAR USA.

Chopper was also a longtime sales associate at WNPC, working alongside his wife of 24 years, Johnnie Sue. In September 2020, WNPC hosted an anniversary special celebrating Chopperโ€™s 50 years in broadcasting. Jim Phillips was 75 years old.

Visitation will be held from 4โ€“7 p.m. Friday at West End Baptist Church, with the funeral service to follow. Burial will take place Saturday at 1 p.m. at Union Cemetery in Newport. You can read the full obituary for Chopper Phillips at manesfuneralhome.com.
