Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announcing statewide school choice proposal: 'There is more work to do'
Fox News
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is announcing an ambitious proposal to make school choice universally available in the state on Tuesday, saying "there is more work to do."
"When I ran for Governor, I said every Tennessean deserves access to a good job, a great school, and a safe neighborhood," Lee told Fox News Digital in a statement. "We’ve made great strides in education, but there is more work to do. To ensure Tennessee continues to lead the nation, it’s time for a statewide school choice plan that empowers parents, equips students for success, and allows Tennessee taxpayers to decide how their own dollars are invested."

"The Education Freedom Scholarship Act will empower Tennessee parents with the freedom to pick the right school for their child, while giving families a choice where their taxpayer dollars are spent," according to a memo obtained by Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to jeffrey.clark@fox.com.
