What stands out about how Cedar Hill is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Robertson County School District
Cedar Hill’s K–12 school district, shared with Adams, Coopertown, Cross Plains, Greenbrier, Orlinda and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $12,007 per pupil, $7,947 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Tennessee districts overall: 40% local, 44% state, 16% federal.
