Parsons Elementary seeks bookkeeper for 2026-27 school year
Parsons Elementary is hiring a bookkeeper for 2026-27, a back-office role that helps keep budgeting, purchasing and school records on track before students return.
Decatur County Schools has posted an opening for a bookkeeper at Parsons Elementary for the 2026-27 school year, a job tied directly to the campus’s daily finances and office operations at 182 West 4th Street in Parsons, TN 38363.
At a PK-4 school led by principal Lisa Renfroe, the bookkeeper helps keep records, payments and financial organization in order so the school can function smoothly. That work matters well beyond the front office. It supports purchasing, helps keep payments moving on time and gives teachers and administrators the administrative backup they need as the district prepares for another school year. Parsons Elementary is also part of a busier summer and fall calendar, with Decatur County Schools saying all students will receive free breakfast and lunch in 2026-27 and that summer learning camp at Parsons Elementary was open for registration for students in grades PreK-8.
The district said applicants must have a high school diploma or GED and successfully pass a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation fingerprint background screening before employment. Decatur County Schools also requires a health screening from a licensed physician. The district’s employment page lists Hugh Smith as HR Supervisor and provides contact information for job postings, including hugh.smith@decaturschools.org and 731-852-2391. Applicants can pursue the opening through the board office or by email to the district personnel office, giving local residents a clear path into a stable school-system job.
The posting comes as the district continues to staff its schools ahead of the new year. National Center for Education Statistics data listed Parsons Elementary as a PK-4 school with 363 students and 28.25 classroom teachers in 2023-24, for a student-teacher ratio of 12.85. A separate district school listing put enrollment at 376 students. However the count is framed, the numbers show a campus large enough to depend on steady non-instructional support, especially in an office that keeps money, records and day-to-day business moving for students and staff alike.
