This “cruel paradox” has resulted in a failure to resource and equip the students who represent our future society and leaders. To advocate for full funding of the Board’s budget request for 2019-2020, email the Metro Council: [email protected] https://t.co/ZiCVR5KHVk

Great, productive discusssion during the @MetroSchools budget hearing. We can find a way to fund our schools and our government this year if we have the courage to do what's right by our employees!

LIVE: MNPS Board meeting... Board Member is asking budget planner "How can we cut costs?" to be taken seriously by the city council. Cutting beyond what is helpful is the problem. They want blood from a turnip, and I'm all out of turnips! #FundMNPS

If we were funding our public schools at the same rate (% of city budget) as 2012, the Council would have no problem meeting the school board’s budget request...and then some. Let’s get our priorities back on track.

"This is about more than just teacher raises. We need FULLY FUNDED public schools. Fully funded leads to teacher retention and recruitment. It hires support staff, school counselors, and more."

Nashville students support teacher walkout for full funding: "All we want as students is a fully funded school system that supports our teachers including salaries that correlate with the increased cost of living in this thriving city - the 'IT' city." #FundMNPS

“Davidson County, meanwhile, stands to lose $14 million dollars in state Basic Education Program formula funding and an additional $18.54 million in local tax dollars as the money presumably follows 3,950 students.

TEXTBOOKS NOT HOT TUBS! Nashville won't be the IT City for long if we choose to stay near the bottom in school funding (we are ranked 18 out of 20 sister cities in per-pupil school funding). The world can see this! Why can't we? https://t.co/nFNsxoUUkU

Will you be attending the “Worth Every Penny” event? With a panel made up of MNPS parents + teachers, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss. This panel cares for our students and wants to see them get the funding they deserve. #FundMNPS #TeamJRC https://t.co/WVeeZwglfn
