Brittany Edmondson, J.D., Ed.S., M.Ed., serves as the Deputy Title IX and Civil Rights Coordinator for Metro Nashville Public Schools. Deputy Edmondson has worked to educate, inspire, empower, and advocate for the better part of her career. Edmondson is a graduate of Nashville School of Law (J.D.), Lincoln Memorial University (Ed.S. and M.Ed.), and Middle Tennessee State University (B.A.). Attacking the dire state of equity and access in education, she ensures that students know their rights, receive social and emotional support, and gain valuable exposure and experiences to position them on a path to success. Edmondson’s expertise and daily work includes policy updates on Title IX and Civil Rights, training on policy regulations and implementation, program review, reporting and compliance, intersection with ADA/504 and IEP, student privacy, student conduct and positive behavior supports, supportive measures and resources, guidance on internal and external stakeholder supports, curriculum development, workshops and action-based professional learning.

Edmondson’s ready to serve and collaborative approach stems from her immersive experience in sexual assault, sexual misconduct, and domestic violence policy, equity leadership, education leadership, direct K-12 student engagement and support, post-secondary collaboration, and community connected leadership to bridge businesses with K-12 education. Attacking the dire state of equity and access in education, she ensures that students gain valuable exposure, tear down barriers to access, and provide experiences to catapult students and schools on a path to success. Brittany has been recognized by MNPS, professional organizations, the Middle Tennessee Community, and the State of Tennessee for her contributions to the advancement of urban and marginalized students and as a leader in Education.
Edmondson hopes that internal and external stakeholders for our Schools and Communities will gain a perspective through the lens of an educated woman of color, a mom with black/brown children, and an advocate for young people. Our Country is at a crossroads for systems change to truly realize an impact on equity.
