Rutherford County Schools parents who are looking for additional resources for their first through eighth grade students may want to tune into Nashville Public Television, NPT, beginning April 6, 2020.
The Tennessee Department of Education is partnering with NPT and other PBS stations across the state to offer up to 30 hours of standards-aligned instructional lessons per week during the COVID-19 school closures.
The 30-minute segments will air from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. each weekday on WNPT. Additionally, viewers can watch or record up to four more hours of content that will be broadcast overnight.
