This week LEAD Public Schools is scheduled to see its legal challenge of a controversial school rezoning plan heard in a Nashville courtroom.
LEAD operates LEAD Cameron Middle School, one of the rare public charter schools in Tennessee that students are zoned to attend. The rezoning plan approved last year by the Metro Nashville Public Schools Board of Education changes that by rezoning LEAD Cameron students to attend another middle school and forcing any family who want to attend the charter school to file an application by February 7, 2025.
Firefly Managing Editor Sky Arnold talked to one of those families before last week's deadline. Alison and Treymayne Haymer explain why they aren't happy with the decision.
