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.

Tennessee high school football passing yardage record broken by UConn commit

Two weeks after setting one state record , Sevier County quarterback and UConn commit Cooper Newman once again added his name to the Tennessee high school football record book. Newman, the state's all-time leader in passing touchdowns with 141 entering the night, is now the undisputed leader when it comes to passing yards following a 339-yard performance in the Smoky Bears' 42-20 win over Tennessee (TN) on Oct. 16/ Entering Friday night, he sat at 10,787 yards for his career, trailing the record that was held by former Trinity Christian Academy (TN) standout Kyle Akin. Akin set that career during a career that spanned from 2011-2014. With the game already out of reach and the record within sight, Sevier County opted to get their Mr. Football winner the record Friday night instead of having him wait another week. Leading by 15 with under 30 seconds remaining, Newman found a wide-open Zach Banks for a 53-yard touchdown that now puts him four yards clear of Akin's old record. 🚨STATE RECORD ALERT🚨 No player in Tennessee high school football history has thrown for more career passing yards than Cooper Newman. 🏈 @Coopernewman7 @SmokyBearFball pic.twitter.com/Lku9k9ca7Q — Kris Mangrum (@KrisMangrum) October 17, 2026 A

Special Education Services for Middle Tennessee Students

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — As the new school year is underway, what signs should parent watch for that their child may be struggling? Is it environmental, the curriculum, or a medical or psychological condition that keeps them from reaching their potential? Are there behavioral issues- anger, trouble paying attention, absenteeism or bad grades? The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act guarantees a Free Appropriate Public Education. It requires tailored instruction to meet unique needs and prepare students for employment and independent living. But some school systems can be reluctant to provide services. The Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands helps parents advocate for their children and help navigate student testing, Individual Education Plans, specialized instruction, aids and modifications. Rachel Moses, an attorney with Legal Aid Society says "There are lots of rights under lots of laws both federal and state that people have protections for but they need a lawyer to navigate those systems.
