MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A group of teachers from Memphis-Shelby County schools are headed to Nashville this week, using their spring break to make their voices heard. Monday morning, more than 50 teachers with the Memphis-Shelby County Education Association boarded a bus and headed to the state capital. This year, third graders across Tennessee and their parents brace for change as the state's new retention law is now in effect. This law only allows for third-grade students who perform on grade level or higher in the English language to move on to fourth grade.
