Bright & Early: Peep Peep Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Several Metro Schools staff members made a colorful appearance at last night’s School Board meeting to let everyone know just how excited they are about their hours, jobs, and incomes being cut. Last week, the board proposed a new budget for next year that would cut 665 jobs and shave one hour off of bus drivers’ workdays. One of the workers even joked that he would need to get a second job working at the new Music City Center or the riverfront water park.
