RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — All Rutherford County Schools will reopen Monday after remaining closed through Friday due to unsafe campus conditions.
District leaders said icy sidewalks and parking lots, power outages, and downed trees prompted the extended closure.
Crews worked throughout the week to prepare schools for a safe return, and officials said the decision to stay closed was made out of an abundance of caution to prevent injuries.
Parents are also reminded that the deadline to submit choice school applications is Saturday, Jan. 31. Applications for magnet schools and available choice seats can be submitted online. Questions can be directed to choice@rcschools.net.
The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
