BOE to consider adopting a resolution opposing the Education Freedom Act of 2025

JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- The Campbell County Board of Education will hold a special called meeting on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., in the lower level conference room of the Central Office.

The purpose of the meeting is to consider adopting a resolution opposing the Education Freedom Act of 2025. 

Education Freedom Act

Gov. Lee and legislative leadership introduced the unified Education Freedom Act (SB1/HB1) on November 6, 2024 with the recognition that every Tennessee child deserves to attend the school that best fits their unique needs, regardless of income or zip code.

In addition to establishing Education Freedom Scholarships, the Act further invests in public schools and teachers by delivering teacher bonuses to recognize their unwavering commitment to student success, increasing K-12 facilities funding, and ensuring state funding to school districts will never decrease due to disenrollment. Gov. Lee and the General Assembly will maintain their commitment to public schools by further investing hundreds of millions of state dollars in the Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement (TISA) formula, and raising starting teacher pay.

  1. Its called freedom of choice. Competition is a good thing. Politicians will always threaten to raise your taxes to stop programs like this. In reality they are protecting friends and family in the school system.
