Nashville Schools Launch Initiatives to Support Teachers and Parents
Summary
Nashville Schools have introduced a telephone information service for parents, providing updates on school closures, emergencies, and important meetings. Additionally, a new training center for staff development is being constructed with public and private funding.Telephone Information Program
Nashville Schools have implemented a new telephone information service to keep parents informed about essential school-related matters. This service will provide updates on school closures due to weather or other issues, lockdowns during drop-off or pick-up times, important parent meetings, and emergency situations.
The telephone system offers an automated call feature, ensuring efficient communication between schools and parents. Messages will be concise, lasting no longer than 45 seconds, respecting parents' time. Notifications about school closures will occur 30 minutes before bus pick-up, while non-emergency updates will be made before 8:00 PM. Emergency alerts will be dispatched immediately once information is available.
The system can contact parents through home, business, or cell phones, aiming to ensure the most effective communication.
New Training Center
In collaboration with the Nashville Alliance for Public Education, Nashville Schools are establishing the Martin Professional Development Center for faculty and staff training. Utilizing both private and public funds, this facility will replace the aging Randalls Learning Center at Eakin Elementary.
Scheduled to open in October, the center will feature a 10,000 square-foot space with enhanced classrooms, media facilities, and a revamped exterior. The Martin Foundation has contributed $1.5 million, with additional support from the Orrin H. Ingram Fund and Turner Family Foundation, bringing in another $1.5 million. Further funding will be secured through the sale of the Randalls Learning Center property.
At the project's announcement, key figures such as Director of Nashville Schools Pedro E. Garcia, Ed.D., Mayor Bill Purcell, and Director of Professional Development Lenna Allen expressed their enthusiasm and gratitude towards the Nashville Alliance for Public Education and the generous donors for their commitment to advancing education.
