Hillsdale continues push for charter schools despite local opposition

The Tennessee Public Charter School Commission held a hearing Wednesday in Murfreesboro to review a proposed Hillsdale College-affiliated charter school. The charter was previously denied by the Rutherford County Schools Board of Education.

The proposed charter is one of three American Classical Academies being reviewed by the commission this week. There will be a hearing for an ACA charter application for the Jackson-Madison School System Thursday, and another for the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System Friday.
