Bianca Christian isn’t your typical young person aging out of foster care.  She scored 25 on the ACT and was headed to college.  With the help of her Transitional Living Specialist, Christian chose the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.  But then in her freshman year, she got pregnant, and didn’t know what to do.  So she contacted her Transitional Living Specialist.

It looks like the suburbanites of Shelby County will not get to vote on whether or not to form their own school districts, at least not in May.
