Metro Public Schools has been turned down for an extra $40 million to craft individual learning plans for thousands of students, but that plan will go ahead.
Nashville was a finalist for a federal Race to the Top grant, but lost out to cities like Miami, Seattle and Charleston.

But superintendent Jesse Register says that effort will move forward, even without the federal money.
