Great Hearts has put a newish plan out to try to garner school board approval:

The revised application includes a transportation plan — something they claim is not needed but was cited as a deficiency by the board's charter review committee — and identifies the West Nashville area where they would put their first school.

"The decision rendered by the MNPS Board of Public Education on our charter application was not compliant with board policy or state charter law and we appeal to you for reconsideration," reads the letter from CEO Dan Scoggin and Great Hearts America-Tennessee President Peter Bezanson.

Metro’s Charter Review Committee, which recommended the board reject Great Hearts’ initial charter application last month, is in the process of reviewing five charter groups that have appealed prior denials.
