It’s not often a teacher makes such great strides in the classroom it grabs the attention of the governor.Warren County resident Jon Simmons has that distinction after a recent meeting with Gov. Bill Haslam to discuss how he helped his students to a more than 50 percent increase in their math and reading scores on the latest TCAP test.“He wanted to know where our success came from and it came from a lot of hard work and a lot of long hours,” said Simmons of his meeting with Gov. Haslam and state Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman.
