By Design: The Shaping of Nashville’s Public Schools Film Viewing and Panel Discussion

By Design is a documentary produced by the Nashville Public Education Foundation (NPEF) examining historical moments of public schooling in Nashville dating back to the 1800s. The film is intended to educate city leaders and the community about how public policy and community priorities have formed the basis for the city’s current education system, and to generate awareness and advocacy to stimulate policy solutions for a better public school system where all students thrive. Our panel will continue the discussion and address current policy initiatives in Nashville’s public schools.

– Christiane Buggs: Metro Nashville Public School Board Chair
– Ashford Hughes: Executive Officer for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at MNPS
