What We Do
The mission of the NCC is to ensure that every child in Nashville has access to a high-quality public school. 1 in every 5 Nashville public school students is enrolled in a charter school. The Nashville Charter Collaborative advocates on behalf of those students, their families, and the teachers and staff who have all chosen to be part of a charter school community in our city.
Our Priorities
- Providing valuable resources around student and family support, student achievement, teacher recruitment and retention, community transformation, school operations, and financial resources.
- Elevating school leaders and their best practices.
- Navigating the authorizing and accountability processes.
Why We Collaborate
“Nashville is a thriving city. Our students—every single one of them—should be provided the opportunity and education to be a part our city’s success. No one person or organization has all the answers to get us there. But together, we absolutely can.”
— Steering Committee Members (Randy Dowell, Lagra Newman & Todd Dickson)
