Tennessee is required to fund public schools, not private | Letter

According to recent articles, due to a decision by the Knox County Commission to redirect approximately $4 million of tax revenues to other expenses and an additional reduction of state funding by approximately $3.8 million, for the 2026-27 school year there is a $7.8 million budget shortfall for Knox County Schools. Current proposals to address the shortfall include closing some smaller schools , changing bus routes and changing when schools start and end each day, each of which could adversely affect students and their families For the 2026-27 school year, the state of Tennessee has provided funding of over $150 million for approximately 20,000 students to attend private schools. Dollars per scholar: How much it costs to educate each KCS student, sorted by school The Constitution of the state of Tennessee requires the state to "provide for the maintenance, support and eligibility standards of a system of free public schools." On the other hand, the choice to fund private schools is not mandated by the Constitution; instead it was a political decision by a majority of the legislature and the governor.

Christian school wins Tennessee court case challenging religious charter ban

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly

Many veterans have spent time away from their families to serve our country. I cannot imagine how hard that must be and it makes me appreciate their sacrifices even more. “Veterans have also taught me that we should
