Metro Nashville Public Schools released an interactive annual report at Tuesday’s school board meeting, marking the second consecutive year school officials have turned to an online format to detail what they say are the district’s achievements.
“We are excited about the progress our district is making,” Director of Schools Jesse Register wrote in a letter that greets people visiting the annual report webpage, found at www.annualreport.mnps.org [1].
The report –– which includes videos, graphs and slideshows –– highlights areas that have become familiar themes over the past year within Metro schools, many which fall under the umbrella of MNPS Achieves, Register’s education reform initiative.
Among items the annual report accentuates are: The state of Tennessee’s $501 million in federal Race to The Top money, $30.3 million that is earmarked for MNPS; the district’s Academies of Nashville, the instructional model found within high schools; Metro’s six new thematic magnet schools; and the school system’s efforts to address the needs of special-needs and English Language Learner students.
