My hope is this forces the school board and district off its duff into real reform and real education of Nashville's students. I doubt it but I can always hope...if not, as more charters are approved, we should see more and more default er zoned/failing MNPS schools close. That would be a good thing.din819gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148195871366562486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-44963711755007573342009-06-17T13:20:01.747-05:002009-06-17T13:20:01.747-05:00Thanks, Jamie.Thanks, Jamie.Kay Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073075957511329333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-89744128614546252492009-06-17T12:36:42.513-05:002009-06-17T12:36:42.513-05:00Actually 2 no votes: Barker & Pitts.Actually 2 no votes: Barker & Pitts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924778569193980629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-68777776193540992812009-06-17T12:23:53.527-05:002009-06-17T12:23:53.527-05:00The maximums are set because of politics.
