JACKSON, Tenn. — Jackson-Madison County School Board members met to discuss Gov. Bill Lee’s latest proposal for the Tennessee Education Freedom Act.
There was discussion of the money instead being used to fund universal pre-k to prevent students from getting behind at the start of their education.
Members also argue state leaders have not addressed special needs, diversity or accountability.
A resolution will be drafted and presented at the city council meeting on Monday.
They also feel selections for the vouchers will be based on the top children and fear the public schools’ scoring will decline.
The school board fears not only funding being taken away for public schools but more importantly, believes they would lose students.
