Freedom Elementary on track for August 2026 opening; district previews school‑choice options
Summary
District staff reported that Freedom Elementary construction is on schedule for an August 2026 opening and previewed 2026–27 school‑choice options including high‑school academies, Spanish immersion, an Austin Peay college pathway, an early technical college option with Nashville State Community College, and Founders Inc at Burt Innovation Center.
Speaker 4 told the board that Freedom Elementary (near Outlaw Field) is beginning to look like a school building and remains on track to open in August 2026. The presenter said the district has begun talking with students and families about school‑choice options for 2026–27.
The options Speaker 4 listed include high‑school academies, a Spanish immersion elementary program, a partnership that allows students to take courses at Austin Peay, an early technical college option with Nashville State Community College, and Founders Inc at the Burt Innovation Center. Speaker 4 said the district will share information about open seats for open enrollment early in the new year.
Why it matters: the new building and expanded options affect enrollment planning, transportation, and program access for families in the district. Speaker 4 framed the district goal as helping families find the best school choice for their students.
Next steps: the district will publish open‑enrollment seat information and continue outreach about program options; no formal board action occurred during the study session.
