CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A change to the state’s grading scale could give Tennessee students an edge for college admissions and scholarships, and it’s in legislation backed by Rep. Jason Hodges, D-Clarksville.
The bill working its way through the state legislature would require schools to switch from the current 7-point grading scale to the more widely used 10-point scale.
Hodges discussed his bill during a recent interview on Clarksville’s Conversation with Katie Gambill, Charlie Koon and Chris Smith. Hodges also discussed entering his second term as a legislator, medical marijuana and other upcoming legislation.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The local school system is the first in the state to set up a teacher training pipeline, and two short years after its inception, it’s now the model for 38 other school districts and on the cusp of being implemented statewide.
Sean Impeartrice, chief academic officer for the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System, recently sat down with Katie Gambill and Charlie Koon for a Clarksville’s Conversations talk about the system’s Teacher Residency Pathways (TRP) program. “It’s an opportunity for us to invest in the community – partner with a local university around the workforce demand area,” Impeartrice said.
