Bright & Early: Look To The Sky Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Some Metro Schools officials aren’t feeling extremely hopeful about the No Child Left Behind results coming their way next month.

Happy Hour: Keep On Truckin’
We got our state report card today and there is some good news: Our high school graduation rate has gone up! The bad news is that our kids still can’t read good.
