No thanks to Gov. Bill Lee
While Gov. Bill Lee was content to let Tennessee schools lose out on $118 million in federal funding, leaders in other states – including Kentucky’s Gov. Andy Beshear – took on the Trump Administration and secured release of billions in education dollars.
The Washington Post reports:
The Trump administration plans to release more than $5 billion in funding to public schools that it has withheld for nearly a month, a senior administration official said Friday, ending weeks of anxiety and uncertainty for school leaders who had said the freeze jeopardized programs and staffing for the upcoming academic year.
