LEAD Public Schools is a Nashville-based non-profit organization running a network of charter schools. LEAD was founded in 2007 by Jeremy Kane as the first charter management organization in the state of Tennessee. Since its establishment, LEAD has grown to serve 1,250 students across Nashville. As part of a statewide initiative to improve under-performing schools, LEAD received millions of dollars to expand its reach in the local area. Its growth has been augmented by a partnership with Metro Nashville Public Schools and the Achievement School District, which selected LEAD as the charter operator for turnaround schools in these districts. Chris Barbic, the founder of Yes Prep and the superintendent of the Achievement School District, expressed his thoughts regarding LEAD's results in a public press release.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mnps.org/AssetFactory.aspx?did=67956 )〕 == LEAD schools == *LEAD Academy, with a separate high school and middle school〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/city-news/nashvilles-lead-charter-group-awarded-325m-support-growth )〕 *Cameron College Prep currently serves grades 5-7.
