Predicting TSSAA football playoffs first round games in Nashville area

The TSSAA football playoffs are here and schools across the state are eager to make a run at state championship games in Chattanooga in December. That first step will be taken with first-round action in Division I and II . Here's a look at the top first-round games in the Nashville area for the opening week of the playoffs. Game of the week Oakland (8-2) at Lebanon (7-3) Time : 7 p.m. | When : Nov. 6 Oakland has to pick itself off the canvas after being on the wrong end of a classic Region 3-6A championship game against Riverdale in which a last-second field goal lifted the Warriors . Now the Patriots find themselves in the unfamiliar position of having to hit the road for the first round of the playoffs. Lebanon has lost two of its last three games, including a 17-7 loss to Cookeville in Week 11. A win for the Patriots could potentially set up another road trip to Class 6A rival Maryville in the second round. Tom Kreager's prediction : Oakland 34, Lebanon 10 Tyler Palmateer's prediction : Oakland 28, Lebanon 14 George Robinson's prediction : Oakland 35, Lebanon 14 Jack Williams' prediction : Oakland

Did the Tennessee midterms complicate Marsha Blackburn’s voucher expansion plans?

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. In April, 95 Tennessee lawmakers voted in the House of Representatives on a bill to expand the state’s fledgling private school voucher program. It was an unusually tight vote in the legislature , where the Republican supermajority often votes along party lines. The measure passed by nine votes — with 52 Republicans in support and a coalition of 43 Democrats and Republicans opposed. This week, six of those 52 Republicans were voted out of office, defeated by Democrats. While the blue tsunami didn’t crash into Tennessee Tuesday night as it swept statewide midterm races elsewhere , Democratic gains could make it harder for Republicans to pass controversial policies like expanding the Education Freedom Scholarship program , which has historically split the party’s legislative caucus. If lawmakers voted along the same lines under the new party totals, the April voucher vote would have failed, 46 to 49. When the General Assembly returns to the state Capitol in January, Republicans will still hold a supermajority with

MNPS head emphasizes academic growth, collaboration amid audit calls

Metro Nashville Public Schools Director Adrienne Battle referred to recent academic growth and achievements when asked about a Tennessee lawmaker's call for a state audit of the district . Rep. Scott Cepicky, R-Culleoka, leveled sharp criticism at Battle in a conservative talk radio interview last month, saying MNPS and Memphis-Shelby County Schools were negatively affecting the state's overall academic achievement. He also said he asked House Speaker Cameron Sexton for a state audit of MNPS. A spokesperson for Sexton told The Tennessean "all possible options" are being explored and that "nothing is off the table" when it comes to a state audit of the district, which is the second-largest in Tennessee. After delivering a keynote address during a November Rotary Club of Nashville meeting, Battle told reporters she was "not familiar" with Cepicky's comments. She said MNPS frequently engages in monitoring and audits and referred to a recently launched audit of the district's performance and operations, commissioned by the Metro Nashville Council. "Whatever we need to do as a district, we're always focused on continuous improvement," Battle told reporters. "Our mantra is: 'Know where you are, but don't stay there.' Our results speak for themselves, and so anything we can

OPINION: Tennessee Needs a Statewide Plan for Substitute Teachers

OPINION: (By JC Bowman & Karol Lea Biggs) - Before the first bell rings across Tennessee on a school day, a principal is already trying to solve a problem: several teachers are absent, and there are not enough substitutes. Classes may be split. Teachers may be asked to give up their planning periods. Administrators may set aside other responsibilities to cover classrooms. The doors open, but the school day begins under strain.
