There should be a referendum. TN public schools are already underfunded.
I went to a private religious school, we were underfunded and didn’t have things standard in public schools, but the religious curriculum was important to my parents so they paid the tuition. I sent my son to a private prep school, much better but we paid and paid for it.
My point is parents have choices already. You can pay for a private school if you wish, costs and education will vary. If public school is your choice, or only option you want that public school to have full funding to at the least provide standards equal to the national average.
Increase teacher salaries, you do get what you pay for.
Bill Lee acts like this school vouchers things isn’t an important issue, it’s the only issue.
This is not important to most folks, it’s not even on their radar.
That’s what Bill and his PAC and cronies want, don’t pay attention, let them ram this through to rob children of a decent education and pocket the profits.
That’s what this issue is about, providing profit by siphoning off public funds for education for all of TN children.
Bill says “it’s taxpayer’s money not the government’s”. Exactly Bill and my tax dollars should be used for public good, not given by the government to a private company, for private individuals to profit.

Precisely, Arlie - public funds should stay in public schools. I bet if there was a statewide referendum on vouchers, they would fail - big time.
