WSMV-TV reports that the board adopted the closing proposal 9-0. The move is estimated to save around $3.5 million.
The schools that will be closed:
Buena Vista Elementary
Robert E Lillard Elementary
Joelton Middle
The Cohn Learning Center
Superintendent Adrienne Battle says the campus closings are part of the district's ReimaginED proposal.
Consolidating the schools will "optimize learning environments and educational outcomes" and bring about greater equity for students, Battle says.
Officials say schools in the north part of Nashville have lost enrollment as more students take advantage of other options, including public schools outside of their attendance zone and charter schools.
