MARTIN, Tenn. – The State Collaborative on Reforming Education has named Dr. Keith Carver, chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Martin, to its steering committee. Carver is one of three new members rotated onto the committee, which is comprised of policymakers, educators, elected officials, business leaders and parents statewide.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to serve on the SCORE Steering Committee. SCORE is committed to closing all of Tennessee’s achievement gaps by income, race, location and student need by 2020, and I am pleased that UT Martin can help represent higher education in this forum,” said Carver.
SCORE is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy and research institution focused on creating educational policies and practices to promote student success statewide. Founded in 2009 by Sen. Bill Frist, former U.S. Senate majority leader, SCORE supports K-12 education across Tennessee and works to ensure that all students graduate high school ready for postsecondary education and the workforce.
