Notes
A brief history of the Metropolitan Nashville Education Association
The Metropolitan Nashville Education Association (MNEA) was founded on April 15, 1964 upon unification of Nashville City Schools and Davidson County Schools and the merger of the Nashville Teachers Association, the City Teachers Association, the Davidson County Education Association, and the Davidson County Education Congress, which had formed a consortium, called the Education Council, to provide representational services to members and improve education in our community. The Education Council represented one of the first efforts to unite black and white teachers organizations in the South.
Minutes of Board the meeting of Nashville Teachers Association show that it existed as far back as 1895 and archival records in the MNEA office indicate the Davidson County Education Congress existed as far back as 1915.
