We mourn the loss of Dolly Parton, whose impact on our state extends far beyond her music. Through her unwavering commitment to literacy through the Imagination Library, she has gifted more than 332 million books to children, including almost 3.2 million books each month across 5 countries. Dolly inspired generations of Tennessee children to discover the joy and power of reading, putting millions of books into the hands of young readers. Her belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and dream will continue to shape lives for generations to come. The Tennessee Department of Education "will always love you!" 📚🩷🦋💜

Today we joined @SCORE_TN's AI in K-12 Education symposium. Our Executive Director, Dr. Sara Morrison, moderated a panel on how Tennessee schools and districts are moving from AI exploration to real-world implementation. It was a day full of great ideas and meaningful dialogue!
That’s a wrap on AI in K-12 Education: Keeping Students at the Center.
Today’s conversations reinforced the idea that the promise of AI will not be in how quickly we adopt new tools but rather how thoughtfully we put it to work for students to strengthen teaching and learning.
From AI literacy and responsible implementation to preparing students for a changing world, one theme remained constant throughout the day: Students must stay at the center of the decisions we make.
Thank you to our speakers, partners, and everyone who joined us in Nashville to learn, ask hard questions, and help move this conversation forward.
