Education Organization Opportunity Nashville to Hold School Board Candidate Listening Sessions in Districts 2, 4, 6, and 8
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Opportunity Nashville, an education advocacy organization, is giving families, educators, and voters an opportunity to make their voices heard, by facilitating a series of public listening sessions in the four districts on the ballot in the 2022 school board race.
These events are designed to gather input from the community about what the school board needs to do to improve educational equity across Nashville. The format of the listening sessions will be the reverse of the typical political forum where candidates share their positions and platform. Instead, parents and voters will be invited to share their ideas, which Opportunity Nashville will document and disseminate in a voter guide after the events.
Some school board districts have changed through Nashville’s recent redistricting process. Voters can use this interactive map created by the Metro Nashville Planning Commission to identify their school board district by searching their home address.
Advance registration for the listening sessions is encouraged, but not required. Complete event information in English, Spanish, and Arabic is available online at https://opportunitynashville.org/listening-sessions-with-school-board-candidates/.
