We know that education beyond a high school diploma is critical to the future economic success of our state, to the future economic mobility of Tennesseans, and to ensuring Tennessee students can access great jobs that provide a pathway to a meaningful career. The declining college-going rate numbers released today show that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a changing economy have had a deeply concerning impact on students and their families, particularly for students of color.
“For more than a decade, Tennessee has been a national leader in improving academic achievement by focusing on what is best for students, and TISA will accelerate those efforts by providing extra funding for students who need more help to meet our state’s high academic expectations,” said Senator Bill Frist, the founder and chairman of SCORE.
Tennessee needs a new K-12 education funding formula that will better prepare students for success in college, career, and life, and the proposal from Governor Lee and Commissioner Schwinn has the potential to significantly improve outcomes for millions of Tennessee students.
In his annual State of the State address, Governor Bill Lee offered several student-focused proposals that have the potential to drive greater success for students in Tennessee public schools.
