A federal judge ruled in favor of the plaintiff in NAACP’s civil rights lawsuit against Metro Nashville Public Schools and mandated that the child be transferred back to Bellevue Middle School, which is the school she went to before Metro’s controversial rezoning. The judge also ruled that John Early Middle needs to come up with some textbooks for its students within 24 hours since many students had gone book-less for the entire first week of school.
