The Metro Nashville Education Association (MNEA) invites educators, parents, and community members to take part in an upcoming Town Hall with MNPS School Board Members; an important opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation about the future of our public schools.

This virtual town hall will take place on May 6th from 5:00–6:00 PM via Zoom and will bring together school board members and the community to discuss key issues impacting students, educators, and families across Nashville. From school resources and student support to educator working conditions and community priorities, this conversation is a chance to ask questions, share concerns, and hear directly from those making decisions that affect our schools every day.

Now more than ever, it’s critical that the voices of educators and families are heard. This town hall creates a space for open dialogue, transparency, and collaboration—ensuring that decisions are informed by the real experiences of those in our school communities.

Whether you have specific questions, ideas to share, or simply want to stay informed, your participation matters. Strong public schools depend on engaged communities, and this is a meaningful way to stay connected and involved.
