Every year, every school district in must examine its performance from the pervious school year. This summer Nashville Schools had to do this as well. The Nashville Schools' Board of Education, which included both the outgoing members from 2005-2006 and the incoming members from 2006-2007, reviewed the results from the Tennessee Adequate Yearly Progress. The results will help to pinpoint for Nashville Schools those areas that have improved and where continued progress is needed. Nashville Schools had both remarkable achievements in some areas and areas that continue to be a challenge. This is the third year that the majority of schools in the Nashville Schools have received a rating of Good Standing, the highest rating that can be given. The remaining schools had moved either up or down from the previous year. The number of schools in Good Standing was 81 which is the same number as last year.

Possibly the biggest gain this year for Nashville Schools is that some of the schools categorized as high received Good Standing ratings. Two schools Kirkpatrick and Napier Elementary Schools achieved a Good Standing rating for the first time since the Tennessee Adequate Yearly Progress was established. These two schools are two of the highest poverty schools in Nashville School District. There ratings reflect the effort that the students, teachers, parents and principals put in last school year.

But many schools did not receive a rating of Good Standing or even the same rating as last year. Many of these schools received a lower rating than previously. This indicates that there are still lots of areas that still need improvement. Nashville Schools has made the commitment to strive for every school to receive a Good Standing rating. Each summer the Nashville Schools' Board of Education meets to determine what steps can be taken to improve the coming school year's scores. The difficulty is that there are a variety of factors that can influence the rating. A small adjustment in one area could affect the overall standing. With this in mind the Board tries to find a way to make every school a school that rates Good Standing.

One of the biggest concerns for the Nashville Schools' Board of Education is the size of the District. Nashville Schools currently has around 74,000 students and must provide educational opportunities that meet the needs of this student population. Nashville School District includes both Nashville and Davidson Counties, so there are logistic concerns also. Nashville Schools are very confident about how this school year will proceed. The Nashville Schools Board of Education is a nine member body that is elected at the end of every school year composed of educators, community leaders and administrators. The members are elected in a public vote by the citizens of the Nashville School District. The Board believes that there is a real potential for all the schools to gain ratings of Good Standing by summer of 2007.

The following are ways you can meet Tennessee's financial responsibility requirements:

=95 An auto insurance card (the kind you keep in your glove compartment)

=95 Other written proof (such as a file or binder) from an Tennessee auto insurance company affirming you have a policy that meets financial responsibility requirements

=95 A certificate issued by the (DOS) affirming you've posted a cash deposit or bond that meets financial responsibility requirements

=95 A certificate issued by the Tennessee DOS affirming you've qualified as a self-insurer (to provide insurance/money yourself)

Cheap car insurance in Nashville will come from whichever one of the above financial responsibility choices works best for you. Remember, if you aren't in a financial situation that allows you to post cash deposits or bond, or self-insure, there's nothing obsolete about a good old fashioned Nashville . You can still save month on those, too.

=95 Make your insurance premium payments quarterly, or every six months, rather than every month. This can help cut down on additional fees.

=95 Raise your deductible. Even though this means you'll have to pay more money out of your own pocket in the event of an accident, raising your deductible also means you pay a cheaper Nashville car insurance premium.

=95 Purchase multi-line insurance. If you already have an insurance policy from a particular company (for example, a homeowner's insurance policy), find out if you can purchase an affordable Nashville , too. Many insurance companies offer discounts for purchasing more than one line of insurance with them, which means you could end up saving money on both insurance policies.

Let's face it, this is one big city and there are a lot of real estate professionals out there, all vying for your business.

But does it have to be this way? Does it have to be time consuming and even confusing? The answer is no.

Rather than investing hour upon hour as you attempt to visit one after another, you can now use the Internet to find the best broker that can service your account. It is not as hard as it may appear. Not if you begin with a few thoughts in mind.

First of all, and this is important, when you begin searching for a mortgage broker make sure that you work with one who has years of experience in securing the best and most affordable home loans. There is a reason why this experience is important to you as a buyer. Companies with years of experience will most often have more access to different programs and options. What this means to you is a wider choice of options, and that can mean real savings, in real dollars, each and every month. There is little argument that for most families and individuals alike, is the biggest investment that they will make in their lifetime.

Every increase in the rate that you agree to is more money out of your pocket each month. Likewise, every decrease in rate that you agree to is more each month. The only way to move between these two is through having a wide choice of options from different lending agencies, and that is where your mortgage broker comes in. Experienced brokers will have access to many more options than the newer brokers when it comes to offering the best Nashville Tennessee home loans.

Second, it is important to find a broker who will be there when you need to ask questions or have something explained to you. Just because they are accessible through online methods does not release them from the responsibility of having a real person available to answer your questions and address your concerns. Look for a company that offers a toll-free phone number that is manned during normal business hours. They should also have an email address for you to use, but you want phone access, as well.

Third, make sure the broker offers several programs. Not everyone has perfect credit and that should not necessarily keep you out of the market. If your credit is less than perfect, look for a broker who can work with you.

One great place to begin is with The Mortgage Depot at http://www.tmdloan.com, where you can find a lot of useful information on Nashville Tennessee home loans. Visit today to learn more. http://www.tmdloan.com is a Nashville Tennessee Home Loan lender with many years of experience in the industry. ]]> Nashville Schools Budget Barely Keeping With Inflation http://www.artwoo.com/article/nashville-schools-budget-barely-keeping-with-inflation http://www.artwoo.com/article/nashville-schools-budget-barely-keeping-with-inflation#comments Sat, 28 Jul 2007 22:34:59 +0000 nashville schoolsbudget gamebudget cutattendanceparentsguidance counselorsabsent from school http://www.artwoo.com/article/nashville-schools-budget-barely-keeping-with-inflation Nashville Schools are bracing for a . While costs are rising at about 3.4% due to inflation and other needed costs, the increase in the overall budget is only 1.1%. Despite the Nashville Schools best efforts to insure this deficit is not felt by students-there will certainly be changes felt by the loss of 40 classroom teachers and almost 100 custodians.

While the cuts will hurt some areas of the district, the Nashville Schools will still have some winners in the . Several positions will be added, programs kept or expanded, and critical concerns addressed. For starters, there will be an overall increase in and counselors. These are two positions that are expected to improve overall student success in Nashville Schools by steering students towards appropriate programs, and by ensuring regular and consistent attendance.

The Nashville Schools will continue to fund its attendance initiative. One key part of that is the automated `phone home' program that notifies if their children are . Nashville Schools feel this is a vital program to keep parents informed of their child's attendance, and to hold parents accountable. Also, slated to be kept on the budget for Nashville Schools, is the credit recovery program for both middle and high school students. This program allows students to earn missing credits in order to move up to the next grade level and to graduate on time. The Nashville Schools have seen an overall increase in the number of students graduating on time since its implementation.

The safety officers at each high school will actually see an increase in their numbers as both parents and administrators feel that they are necessary to keep students in Nashville Schools safe. In addition to safety officers, behavior specialists will be placed in schools with the most behavior challenges to help resolve these issues and have a positive impact on the academic lives of these students. The Nashville Schools will also be adding several special education teachers to better serve special needs students. The highly gifted students of the Nashville Schools will see an increase of nine new classrooms for highly gifted students in kindergarten through fourth grade.

A control clerk will be added to the textbook department which will save thousands of dollars a year in lost and misplaced textbooks. The Nashville Schools estimate they lose thousands of dollars each year in books that the school board simply can't trace. The Nashville Schools will also see an increase in the budget for charter schools. While charter schools aide in the education of students of the metro Nashville area, they deplete funds from other schools where teachers and supplies must be kept on hand even though the student population drops. There are also slight increases in the budget for materials, technology information, routine classroom supplies and clerical supplies. The Nashville schools also made an increase in their budget to cover the inflationary costs of fuel, natural gas, and electricity.

As one can imagine, the move was not made without protest, but the school board is determined that this will be the directive for all Schools for the foreseeable future.

Standard attire is not school uniform. Although the two are often confused, standard attire does not constitute a uniform. Instead the standardization outlines kinds and colors of clothes to be worn by students in Public Schools. The district will not provide the clothes nor tell parents which specific items or brands to buy.

Standard Attire in Nashville Schools- What does it Entail?

Standard attire will consist of blue, black or , shorts, or skirt and a white or navy blue collared shirt. The mandated attire is intended to give students a clean and professional look. Certain Nashville Schools have elected to add other color shirts which are allowed (up to 4 additional) by the school board.

In addition to color and kind, standard attire also addresses style in the following ways. All shirts are to be tucked in. Although not explicitly stated in the policy, tucked in shirts which give a neater look, might be a deterrent during fights. The loose tail of a shirt is often used to grab a student during a . In addition, pants can not be worn in a loose or saggy manner. This is done to combat the "gang" look of a lot of young men today.

There is some in the new standards of attire of Nashville Schools. As noted above, schools can endorse other color shirts including the school's colors. School logos are permitted as well. In addition, the standard attire of Nashville Schools can be suspended temporarily for things like spirit week when students may dress up for "retro day" or "cowboy day" or "mythology day" or the like.

Nashville Schools has also established a waiver process. Students can get a waiver out of standard attire for various reasons. If religious practice requires a different style of dress such as a burka or headdress, this can be permitted. Waivers are also allowed for medical reasons or special education needs.

Standard Attire in Nashville Schools- Will it Solve Anything?

Nashville Schools, like the schools in most cities, have been plagued by a number of issues in recent years that have led to difficulties in the classrooms. Instituting standard attire is one step that Nashville Schools hope will cut down on gang violence and socio-economic stress that is often played out in the clothes that students wear. It's a good step forward towards addressing the city's problems, but let's just hope that the powers that be in Nashville Schools see it as just one small step in a line of others that will boost performance in the educational system.

We're all familiar with the kinds of students who are projected to be potential leaders in high schools =96 the debate team member, the math club geek, the student council president. These are the stereotypical American leaders of tomorrow; lucky enough to have their special abilities recognized while they are still in school. But what of the other less ? The kid with a stammer who has a lot to say if he could only get the words out clearly enough, the teenage mom with unlimited potential, even the kid at the back row who spends more time in detention than in class?

You'd cringe at the thought of these students being portrayed as leaders and nobody would blame you. In a groundbreaking new program, Nashville schools believe that this exact group of "low on achievement but high on potential" students has the capabilities to make an impact on society. So confident are schools that these students, if given a gentle nudge, can make equal or greater contributions to society that they are partnering with local to promote this belief.

Identifying Role Models at Metro

Alignment Nashville, a group that aims to bring together Nashville schools and organizations like the YMCA, and Hands on Nashville, wants to create a more organized framework for co-operation between these bodies. Earlier well intentioned attempts to coordinate Nashville schools and voluntary organizations fizzled because of the unsystematic nature of the efforts. This time around the focus is on going beyond words to actual implementation. The organization has launched a couple of programs at two Metro Nashville Public Schools targeting students who possess but are currently frittering away these abilities in other pursuits. In other words it aims to draw out the potential of at-risk teens who might not have otherwise had a shot at any roles in the school system, leave alone positions of leadership.

Creating Unlikely Leaders at Nashville Schools

This heartening initiative to empower students in Metro Nashville Public Schools who have been marginalized and draw them into leadership roles in the system works in a surprisingly simple manner. Staff is asked to nominate students they feel are currently on the fringes of the school, but could blossom given the right opportunities.

The program then aims to target these students through reading programs, discussions, maintaining journals, enhancing problem solving and team work abilities. Students are encouraged to communicate successfully and respect diversity. Although it's still too early to gauge the success of this program, authorities at Metro Nashville Public Schools say changes are already visible. Students in the programs are already assuming positions in school bodies and clubs and even at other local organizations. In the long run, Nashville schools expect this commendable program to lead to fewer dropouts, decreased school fights and an overall enhanced school environment for all.

Cover Tennessee is designed to provide affordable and obtainable health care coverage for who are without health insurance because they can not afford to purchase a , or because they can afford to purchase a health plan but are continually turned down for health coverage due to a pre-existing health condition or severe ill health.

States across America are struggling to help their residents find affordable health insurance. Some Americans can not afford health insurance at all, while some can afford health insurance but can not obtain it because it seems that all health insurance companies they consult deem them "uninsurable." Tennessee recognizes that children and adults alike are in need of affordable health insurance as well as coverage for prescription medication; therefore Tennessee has developed Cover Tennessee, a program similar to other health insurance and developed by other states throughout America.

Cover Tennessee is actually comparable to a gigantic umbrella, housing the five different "parts" of the Cover Tennessee : CoverTN, CoverKids, CoverRx, AccessTN, and ProjectDiabetes.

Tennessee is the border state between the North and the South. Tennessee joined the United States Union on June 1, 1796 as the 16th state.

Tennessee had an internal conflict that took roots during the American Civil War. While the south was for the union, the north seceded. This difference is at times still apparent in the time tested difference between the lowland and upland.

Other interesting facts about Tennessee are:

1) Tennessee acquired its name from the word "Tanasi", a word in the and the name of a village on the river of Little Tennessee. The river is rumored to be named after the village and the region was named Tennessee after the river.

2) The eastern part of Tennessee is a rugged terrain that is green and dense with forest and bush. This area was settled mainly by pioneering and independent . It was an isolated territory until the early 20th century. The west at that time flourished with and was linked to the rest of the country through the Mississippi River. The central region also had good connections and thus developed a thriving economy.

3) Tennessee is divided into three grand divisions where each has its own regional center:

East Tennessee - Chattanooga and Knoxville
Middle Tennessee -- the capital, Nashville -- largest metropolis
West Tennessee -- Memphis -- biggest city on the basis of population

4) The state of Tennessee is also known as the Volunteer State, in recognition of the display of valor by volunteers that came from the state during the historic wars in the 18th and 19th centuries. Tennessee was first explored by Europeans and was inhabited by the Cherokee after driving away the Uchee. Cherokee ultimately claimed East Tennessee and the Choctaw claimed the central region with the Shawnee laying claim to lower . The West Tennessee enclosed between the rivers (Tennessee and Mississippi) was claimed by the Chickasaw.

5) Then came the British and organized the Ft. Loudon in 1756. This was located in east Tennessee and the Treaty of Hard Labour in 1763 made way for the settlement of Virginians and North Carolinians. The first government of Tennessee was formed in 1771 and was called the Watauga Association.

6) After getting the statehood, Tennessee's history was linked with the military career of Andrew Jackson and his campaigns in the Indian Wars and the Battle of New Orleans. The Chickasaw were brought over by the United States government as a matter of policy and were relocated to Oklahoma. Tennessee for its part of the American Civil War saw about 400 battles being fought within its confines and a wide range of epidemics took their toll on its populace after the war.

AFL success

In their first season playing in the AFL, they won the first ever AFL championship, and won it again a year later. Wally Lemm, their head coach during that time led a strong offense. The Oilers at that time had such a potent offense that half of the starting lineup in the 1961 and 1962 seasons played in the AFL All-Star Games. After the championship, Wally Lemm left the team but came back five years later for the 1967 and 1969 postseason. The team was recharged with such winning players as quarterback Pete Beathard, offensive guard Bob Talamini, running back Hoyle Granger, and safeties and Ken Houston--one of the strongest defenses the league had ever seen.

Joining the NFL

In 1970, the American Football League (AFL) merged with the National Football League (NFL). In its first four seasons playing in the NFL, the Oilers lost under four different coaches. It was only in 1975 that it got its first winning record under head coach Bum Philips. The Houston posted a 10-4 record.

Warren Moon, who came from the Canadian Football League playing for the Edmonton Eskimos, was drafted into the team in 1987 and it was then that the Oilers had its turnaround. His favorite receivers included Haywood Jeffries, Drew Hill, and Tim Smith--each posting multiple thousand-yard seasons. In 1990, Moon recorded two consecutive 4,000-yard seasons of passes and was named the AFC player of the year. During that season, center Mike Munchak and guard Bruce Matthews led a strong offensive line and tackle Ray Childress anchored a tough defense.

Becoming the Titans
