FromThe Nashville Tennessean: The Metro Nashville (Tenn.) school system will try what the state education commissioner calls a "Hail Mary" on its two lowest-performing schools, turning control of one over to a charter school company and possibly putting the other on a year-round schedule. Cameron Middle will become the state's first public school to transition into a charter, with a yet-to-be-named charter school company possibly taking it over a grade at a time. Glencliff High, one of the state's lowest-performing high schools, could see longer school days in addition to dropping the traditional months-long summer break.
