Antioch, Cane Ridge students learn whether zones will change
By Julie Hubbard • The Tennessean • October 28, 2010
The Metro Nashville Public School District is sending out letters this week to about 2,000 students in the Cane Ridge and Antioch High School cluster zones who may be affected by redistricting next school year.
“The Antioch and Cane Ridge areas have seen significant population growth over a number of years,” said Chris Weber, the district’s director of student assignment.
The redistricting changes are the first-year implementation of a 10-year plan for managing the growth in the southern Davidson County. The school board approved the plan last summer.
Parents will receive a letter by way of students that explains which school their child will be assigned to attend next fall, as well as where to learn about other available school options.
A second copy will be mailed home.
Changes will not affect enrollment for children currently assigned or approved to attend an out-of-zone school or magnet school.

Council tabling proposal to restrict restaurants near churches, parks
Nashville Business Journal - by Eric Snyder

UPDATE: District 29 Councilwoman Vivian Wilhoite said she is deferring indefinitely her proposal to prohibit nightclubs, bars and restaurants from locating within 100 feet of a school, church, park or single- and two-family homes.
Wilhoite said she has tabled the proposal so she can work with the Metro Planning Commission staff on a proposal they could support. Staff at the Planning Commission, which was to hear the proposal at today's regular meeting, had recommended disapproval.
Wilhoite said said restaurants, bars and nightclubs were included because of the amount of traffic and customers they create — and impact that results on surrounding neighborhoods — not because of the nature of the businesses.
Wilhoite said she hopes to craft new legislation that she says will smooth the transitions between residential and commercial areas.

Thursday's crime log: Fatal shooting near TSU
By Andy Humbles • THE TENNESSEAN • October 28, 2010
A person police believe was a Tennessee State University student was shot and killed at about 7 p.m. Wednesday while riding in an SUV near campus.
The victim was in the backseat of the SUV with two other passengers riding in an alley behind the 2500 block of Jefferson Street, according to Metro Police Captain Chris Taylor.
A person standing in the alley fired a gunshot through the back windshield of the vehicle and hit the victim, Taylor said.
The driver drove to Skyline Medical Center where the victim died, said Taylor.
The victim’s name has not been released pending notification of the family.
No information is yet available on a possible connection between the shooter and the vehicle, Taylor said.
Police at the North Precinct have a “viable lead,’’ on a suspect in the shooting according to Taylor.
