« Unfunded NCLB upheld | Main | Univ of California system salary database » November 24, 2005Education and businessBy Kay Brooks Something that state legislators need to keep in mind in their own efforts to attract business is that education choice--especially among higher paying white collar workers--is an important aspect of why families choose to move to Tennessee. I routinely field inquiries from folks who are deciding to move to Tennessee vs. one of our 8 border states and they are concerned that our laws covering homeschooling, charters and online schooling aren't as accomodating as others. I can't tell you how many times I've had to deliver the disappointing news that Tennessee doesn't allow the freedom and options they want for their children's education. Posted in Education

Williamson County has had an interesting and un-reported "in" for this deal all along. One of the top Nissan executives who the Tennessean listed as having to "move from California" has actually lived in the area for many years --10 minuntes from the new site. His child has been attending Williamson County public schools for years. Posted by: sbk at November 25, 2005 11:20 AMPost a comment
