Students say they want to see more opportunities in every school across Hamilton County.
Sitting around tables and in circles on the floor Wednesday, students at Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences discussed the Chattanooga 2.0 report and brainstormed solutions to the problems facing many of the county’s public schools.
The Chattanooga 2.0 report, released in December, offers a sobering picture of education in Hamilton County, shining a spotlight on the number of students graduating from high school not prepared to enter the workforce. And for the first time since the report was released and groups of adults began meeting to discuss how the county should tackle the problems, a large group of students discussed potential solutions.
“This report is relevant to us,” said Parth Doshi, an eleventh grader at CSAS. “The report shows things affecting us now and our community in the future.”
