In a significant legislative move, both the Tennessee House and Senate have passed a school voucher program, also known as the Education Freedom Act, which is set to cost at least $1.1 billion over the first five years. This major win for Governor Bill Lee reflects a broader agenda mirroring policies promoted by former President Trump. The legislation aims to expand access to private school vouchers, sparking both support and contention among lawmakers and the public alike. Critics have raised concerns about the implications for students with disabilities and the overall impact on public education funding, while supporters argue it promotes educational choice. The bill now heads to Governor Lee’s desk for final approval.
