Good morning, Nashville. It’s no secret that Metro Schools are struggling a bit, and now they’re trying to attack the 73% graduation rate by creating a program to help incarcerated students finish their education.

Bright & Early: Only In Nashville Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So Tim McGraw, Michael W. Smith, and the Jonas Brothers walked into a bar… Sounds like the start of a bad joke, doesn’t it?
