CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Our benefits are fantastic!

At Metro Nashville Public Schools, we believe investing in our teachers is the best way to help them thrive, both personally and professionally. That’s why our benefits package is head and shoulders above many other districts. It’s designed with a teacher’s needs in mind, so you can pursue your passion with an abundance of support. (If viewing on a computer, hover your mouse over a box for more details.)
