This Tuesday, the Dyer County School Board will decide whether to approve the first truly rural public charter school in Tennessee. The proposed Trimble Academy would combine classical education and outdoor learning for elementary and middle school students in Trimble.
Trimble Forward Alliance President Margaret Prater joins this week's On the Fly to talk about her organization’s proposed charter school and a decision last year that created interest in it.
