But maybe 2025 will see Bill Lee realize his dream of full-scale school privatization?
Nashville education blogger TC Weber notes that 2025 is shaping up to look a lot like 2024 when it comes to education policy:
Unfortunately, in reading the tea leaves, when it comes to the education world, it appears to me, 2025 will provide much the same as 2024.
We’ll fight over vouchers, bemoan charter schools, while pretending that teacher shortages don’t exist.
I’m betting that conversation over funding for desperately needed updates to existing facilities will be shuffled to the back burner once again, and kids will continue to attend schools with pest problems, heating and cooling issues, and inadequate space for enrolled students.
