It’s possible, but will Bill Lee and the GOP get behind it?
Nashville legislators Sen. Charlane Oliver and Rep. Aftyn Behn want every 4-year-old in Tennessee to have the option to attend a free Pre-K program.
The two have filed legislation to expand the state’s current Pre-K program so that all families can benefit.
“Working families are the backbone of Tennessee, but far too many struggle to afford high-quality preschool for their children,” said Rep. Behn. “This legislation cuts costs, gives families a raise, and ensures every child gets a strong start in life. The research is clear: when families have access to free pre-K, parents can work more, earn more, and build a more secure future for their children. It’s a win for families, businesses, and the state economy.”
