Tennessee is last in the nation in school funding, a new report shows.
Senate Democratic Caucus Chair London Lamar blasted the GOP supermajority and Gov. Bill Lee over the consistent underfunding of the state’s schools:
“While Gov. Lee and Republicans were busy shoveling hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into their private school voucher scam, they left nearly a million kids in Tennessee’s public schools with less funding per student than anywhere else in the nation. This isn’t an accident — it’s a choice. And Tennessee families are paying the price.”
