This Is Nashville

The Roundabout: How are our kids?

Listen Later

The annual State of the Child Report released by the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth shows fewer kids are living in poverty.

The report also indicates academic improvement post-pandemic, particularly in TCAP Math scores. However, mental health remains a concern, as does the integration of technology in everyday life. On today's show, we speak with representatives from Tennessee state government and also focus on School Choice legislation impacting public school funding. This is a roundabout edition of This Is Nashville. Join the conversation by calling 615-760-2000 or pop into chat on our YouTube livestream.

This episode was produced by Josh Deepan.
