On Monday afternoon, a three-judge panel dismissed a major legal challenge to Gov. Bill Lee’s universal school voucher program. Much of the lawsuit, filed in November 2025 in Davidson County Chancery Court, revolved around the Tennessee Constitution’s 1978 Education Clause and a relevant 1993 Tennessee Supreme Court opinion, which guaranteed Tennessee’s students the right to a free public school system that meets an “enforceable standard.”

With Education a High Priority for Voters, Election Could Shape Future of Tennessee’s Voucher Program

This fall, we sent out a community survey to ask what issues mattered most to you in this election cycle. This is the latest in our community-focused series. Gov. Bill Lee made a universal voucher program into the centerpiece of his education agenda. The next governor — and perhaps as importantly, the next General Assembly — will determine if that program is expanded, scaled back or ends entirely. Candidates also differ on whether to impose transparency and accountability measures on Tennessee’s various voucher programs.
