The Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools
board voted 7 - 2 Tuesday night to reject an application by Great Hearts Academies, a nonprofit that operates

Some LA Unified school
board members want to raise graduation requirements to require at least a C in college
prep classes, undoing a
vote of the previous
board to lower the requirement to a D. For the Class of 2016, less than half of graduates were eligible for the University of California and California State University systems, which require a C in those classes.
