Why are other counties challenging the State on the monies they receive for school funding? Should MNPS join others in a statewide effort to get the funding we need? On Tuesday, the MNPS board will discuss whether to take action. If you live in Nashville, it is crucial that you take 5 minutes to  contact the school board NOW to urge them to stand up for our students. Here’s your handy copy and paste list to email the board and Dr. Register: jesse.register@mnps.org gentryfordistrict1@comcast.net joann.brannon@mnps.org jill.speering@mnps.org anna.shepherd@mnps.org elissa.kim@mnps.org tyese.hunter@mnps.org will@pinkstonforschools.com mary@pierceforschools.org amy.frogge@mnps.org The shameful truth is Tennessee consistently ranks 48th or 49th in the nation for school funding. In 2007, our state government created the BEP 2.0, a formula that determines the level of funding the state should provide to school districts. In the seven years BEP 2.0 has been in place, the state has NOT fully funded the BEP 2.0–willfully shirking its responsibility to adequately support our schools. This is an injustice to children across the state and it’s time for Metro Nashville school board representatives to join with their colleagues in Tennessee and fight for the students they were elected to represent. It’s time we all stand up and demand that our state adequately fund our schools.   Please RSVP to indicate that you will send an email in support of adequate funding!  Please consider attending the MNPS School Board meeting on Tuesday, March 10th.  Speak up today. Email the school board. https://actionnetwork.org/events/16cd1410b2b434b97a7e6367bce06596950f40fb
