29 TEACHERS RESIGN FROM TENNESSEE MIDDLE SCHOOL

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Several teachers have resigned from Oliver Middle School in the last year, citing poor leadership and communication. Some also claim the school does not follow proper safety protocols, specifically during lockdowns.

A former Oliver Middle School teacher claimed  things went on at the school that violated MNPS policies and cites a toxic environment created by the administration in the last few years.

“Teachers are being bullied,” the teacher said. “They are not being treated equally, and they are not being treated fairly.”

MNPS said since the start of the 2021 school year, 29 teachers and staff have left OMS. The turnover rate is alarming parents who voiced their concern at a school meeting Thursday.

MNPS said most of the positions have now been filled. There are currently five vacancies. District spokesperson Sean Braisted explained the departures Thursday. “Some are for personal reasons,” Braisted said. “Some are for promotions. Some are for other reasons.”
Former teachers describe the school as an “environment of chaos”. Teachers detail how it is “impossible to feel safe at my place of work.” They also criticized the school’s handling of an incident in April where a student brought a loaded gun to campus, saying “even after the lockdown incident, safety measures at Oliver did not change.”
