Tune it to DTV on our Community TV Network on Friday, Feb 25 @ 9:30 pm for a very informative and important discussion of the Tennessee Budget and especially the education budget. Learn where Charters and Vouchers are developing in Tennessee and what you can do to slow them down. A bill in the legislature if passed will take the decision on Charter Schools away from the local school boards.
State Representative Gloria Johnson (D-13) and former Davidson County Metropolitan School Board member Amy M Frogge discuss charter schools and the impact charter schools will have our Knox County schools should legislation be passed this year removing the power of a local school board to reject the establishment of a charter school in any district.
