Tennessee’s school voucher proposal cleared committee hurdles in a special legislative session, setting the stage for final votes this week.

A bill filed for school vouchers for Tennessee students has transitioned for a special session, finally mapping out the funding for how the initiative would even work.

Governor Bill Lee's school voucher bill is making rapid progress through the Tennessee House, despite opposition from Democratic lawmakers.

Tennessee General Assembly meets in a special session Monday, Jan. 27, to debate expanding Education Savings Account, or school vouchers, statewide.

The plan has been discussed for months. On day two of the special session, lawmakers and Tennesseeans on both sides are reacting on Tuesday.

Tennessee lawmakers on Monday officially began a special legislative session to take up $470 million in Hurricane Helene relief, a $447 million statewide school choice voucher program and new a state immigration enforcement entity.
