Dr. Register Ready to Fight Failure - Cindy Carter

Dr. Jessie Register begins his first official day as Metro Nashville's Director of Schools on Thursday, January 15.

Register will be fighting to keep the state from taking over the district next year. The state is in that position because the district continues to fail federal "No Child Left Behind" benchmarks.

School testing for Metro students is in April... and another failure ensures that takeover.

Dr. Register actually admits, failure is probable but promises to do everything he can to implement the state's directives for restructuring.Dr. Register Ready to Fight Failure - Cindy Carter
