Metro Nashville Public Schools has dropped a plan to integrate three of its most racially isolated schools because a federal grant that would have paid for the program has been cancelled. According to Nashville Public Radio, the grant funding would have been used to encourage middle-class parents to consider Buena Vista Elementary School, Jere Baxter Middle School and Pearl-Cohn Magnet High School. The federal program, Opening Doors Expanding Opportunities, was created by the Obama Administration but cancelled shortly after President Trump took office.
