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.

Nashville area high school football teams with TSSAA playoffs easiest, hardest paths

Let the second season begin. The Tennessee high school football playoff brackets are set and games begin on Nov. 6 with first-round games. We dug into the brackets, projecting the paths of Nashville area high school football teams in their quest to reach the TSSAA championship games Dec. 3-5 at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga. Here is a look at three schools that appear to have an easy path and three programs that have difficult playoff roads ahead of them. Easiest paths in the TSSAA football playoffs Battle Ground Academy It pays to be the No. 1 team in the Division II-AA Middle Region. Bobby Bentley's Wildcats should breeze to the semifinals, where they likely would play Franklin Road Academy (7-3) or Knoxville Grace (9-1). If quarterback Bo Bryan, a recent Georgia commit, is healthy by Nov. 20, that should help BGA go to a second straight championship game. Nashville Christian The two-time defending Division II-A state champions don't have Jared Curtis at quarterback. But Tate Mathis has played well for the Eagles (8-2) in their final year of DII-A before bumping up to DII-AA. Nashville Christian won't face USJ (9-1) or Friendship Christian (8-2) until the championship game. More: Tennessee

Predicting TSSAA football Week 11 games including Battle of Woods, Oakland vs Riverdale

It's the final week of the TSSAA football regular season and for some teams in Middle Tennessee, region championships are on the line. Others will have one final push to make the Tennessee high school football playoffs. The Nashville area has some significant matchups for Week 11 . The results of those games on Oct. 29 and 30 will determine how the playoff brackets unfold. Here are the top 10 high school football games to keep an eye on this week. Game of the week Oakland (8-1, 5-1 in Region 3-6A) at Riverdale (8-1, 6-0) Time : 7 p.m. | When : Oct. 30 Riverdale can wrap up the Region 3-6A championship outright with a win against Oakland. While Riverdale is the No. 1-ranked team in Class 6A in the Tennessee high school football statewide poll, this is still a tough task for the Warriors. Riverdale's shocking regular season win over Oakland in 2023's regular season finale has been met with four straight wins by the Patriots in this series. If Riverdale is going to snap that four-game slide against its rival, this would be the year. Oakland has already suffered a region loss to Smyrna and would love to
