New Corporal Punishment Law for Tennessee Schools
July 27, 2023
A new Tennessee law now in effect adds new requirements before a student can receive corporal punishment at school.
The law establishes a process for school officials, including teachers, to screen for disabilities before handing out any corporal punishment.
Under this law, before any kind of corporal punishment can happen, teachers are required to:
Have acted to address the student’s behavior
Provided consequences to the student
Consulted with the student’s parents about their behavior, and
Considered the need to evaluate whether the student has a disability.
Corporal punishment against a student with a disability is prohibited unless the parent agrees in writing.

KLS HONORS LORETHA KARNES June 16, 1930 – May 8, 2019.
Loretha worked in various positions with Karnes Legal Services from 2000 – 2018. She was a loving mother to 4, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was active in the community and excelled at being a businesswoman.
She was the co - founder and a Director of Calvary Ministries, a Tennessee nonprofit organization. In the past she has served as minister, Sunday School teacher, Children’s Church Director, Missionette leader, pianist, choir director and minister’s wife.
Through the years she was a busy wife and mother, yet always found time to be a servant leader in the community. She maintained closets and pantries with clothes, food and other necessities to the needy for over 60 years. She gave of her time and talent through counseling, Bible studies, encouraging and letter writing.
She helped organize “Karnes Kids” to provide food, clothes, backpacks, Christmas gifts, counseling, furniture, and etc. to needy families in the community. Often her van was full of these things to distribute.
She was an encourager and mentor to all ages both within and outside the church.
Loretha served in a number of professional roles throughout the years including teaching in the public schools and doing artwork for local schools and colleges.
She was instrumental in starting several churches in Memphis, Jackson, and throughout the world. A wing of a Mexican Orphanage is named after her, as “Lo’s Ladies”. She regularly communicated with Missionaries encouraging them and helping with their material needs.
Loretha was never idle. In fact, she was quite a night owl, working at her desk all hours of the night, or coming in late from a party with her friends.
Loretha got her exercise in her later years by shopping! She almost daily encountered someone who needed to have someone to talk to whether she was at the grocery store or a clothing store.
Many people have fond memories of coming to Loretha’s house for a meal or encouragement. Others remember her creative teaching throughout the years. Others remember her letter and card writing.
Loretha was a lovely picture of the Proverbs 31 woman. She exhibited confidence and strength of character. She was a beautiful and rare gem inside and out. Her family and friends trusted in her. Her life and deeds were constant blessings to others.
Her Godliness was marked with consistency. She used wisdom and discernment in how to meet the needs of those with whom she was in contact.
Loretha Karnes left a wonderful heritage to those around her.

KLS Celebrates NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH- When our Constitution was written, it was silent on women. Women operated in limited and rigid roles because they were excluded from most of the rights and privileges of citizenship. Enslaved women were excluded from all rights and privileges.
Nevertheless. since the founding of our country, women have actively participated as citizens including organizing, marching, and petitioning for rights. Some women worked quietly, and some ROARED. Thanks to women’s tenacity, women’s roles have been redefined.

KLS welcomes Sally Barnett, Paralegal to our team!
A word from Sally: "Hello everyone! My name is Sally Carloss Barnett. I am so excited to be part of Karnes Legal Services! I am 29, married to my best friend of 9 years, and the coolest step-mom on the planet (if you ask my step son.) I am an old soul at heart with an enormous love of all kinds of music, thanks to my father. I have a great community of friends that are family to me.
3 years ago, I took a leap of faith, and finally decided to chase after my dreams of getting into the legal field. I have LOVED every minute of it. I find nothing but joy in reaching a client’s goal. My success comes from the client. You are why I do what I do.
As, you get to know me here at the firm, I hope you always know you have a support system ready to handle all of your legal matters. I believe in second chances, change, and growth. I hope to help make a difference. Everyone has a story, everyone has a past, but everyone deserves a beautiful future.
As expressed in my favorite movie -- The Replacements movie, Jimmy McGinty said, “I look at you and I see two men: the man you are, and the man you ought to be. Someday those two will meet.”
