The Umbrella of Community Education

           Anti-discrimination and ADA


Metro Nashville Community Education is sponsored by the
Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools and the Community Education
Alliance. The Alliance and the Central Community Council are the
two major resources for citizen input on the development of the
overall program. Our year is divided into three semesters which begin
in February, June, and September. Class sessions can number from
one to twenty meetings. Most classes meet one night a week.

* Eight Community Education sites, 10-15 satellites each semester
* Nashville Volunteer Literacy
* Over 100 Before and After-school Programs
* Nine 21st Century Community Learning Centers,
    "Club MCM" (Music City Miracle) - a collaboration with PNA
    (Project for Neighborhood Aftercare), the YMCA of Middle
    Tennessee and Metro Schools' Office of Community
     Education. LEAPS and mini-sites are recent additions.

* "Tech-Know," a collaboration with Dell Computer Corporation,
     and Metro Schools' Information Technology and Community
     Education departments for Wright, J.F. Kennedy, Bailey and

    site, which:

Determine the needs of citizens in the community
Assist/Advise each site coordinator
