NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Nashville-based charter school network has been granted a temporary injunction after filing a lawsuit against Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS), claiming the school board violated contracts.
The lawsuit stems from a vote made by MNPS to change LEAD Cameron Middle School from a “Zoned” school for those in the Glencliff area to a “Choice” school, meaning students would have been zoned to Margaret Allen School Middle School in the 2025-2026 school year.
If the vote remained in place, parents would have had to apply if they wanted their child to remain in the charter school, according to a previous News 2 report.
Officials with LEAD Public Schools said the temporary injunction means LEAD Cameron will “remain a zoned middle school for the 2025-26 school year.”
“The court’s decision affirms LEAD’s position that the rezoning plan was not only in breach of our charter agreement, but also not in the best interest of LEAD Cameron students and families,” wrote LEAD Public Schools in a statement.

The charter network added that they pursued legal action because they believed the proposed rezoning would have negatively impacted students.
According to LEAD Public Schools, the injunction is temporary and there will be a final decision made at a later date.
