TN Gov. Denies Plan To Revamp K-12 School Funding Will Make Vouchers More Accessible

Gov. Bill Lee has denied that his plan to revamp how Tennessee funds its multibillion dollar K-12 education system will make it easier to implement school voucher programs. The governor’s administration first unveiled plans to overhaul the system in October and has since held multiple town halls across the state to collect feedback from teachers and families. On Tuesday, Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn gave the governor a public update on the meetings, where she said they’ve received concerns about school vouchers but didn’t give specific examples.
