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

Johnnie Anderson narrowly wins Gallatin mayor race in upset

Challenger Johnnie Anderson won a close race among three candidates for Gallatin mayor according to unofficial results from the Nov. 3 election. Anderson had 5,173 votes, edging out Mary Genung with 5,104 votes and incumbent Paige Brown, who had 4,992, based on totals from the Sumner County Election Commission on Nov. 3, which was not yet certified. Brown sought a fourth term after holding the office for 12 years. Anderson is a Gallatin High School assistant principal and Genung is a former Sumner County commissioner. Anderson said he plans to resign from his position at Gallatin High School to focus on being mayor. "I think it was the young people who came out to vote," Anderson said.
