Tennessee currently identifies students from low-income backgrounds using SNAP and TANF, but the state's current method undercounts these students and, as a result, underfunds their schools.
HB 2485/SB 2375 is a critical step toward fixing that.

Action Alert: HB 1881/SB 1585 is moving quickly and it would drastically expand private school vouchers, gut accountability measures, and shift local taxpayer dollars in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville to private schools.

The TN House passed HB2532, a voucher expansion bill that sends public dollars to private schools with minimal accountability.
Worse, an amendment buried inside would use social security number tracking to monitor students' immigration status.
Some Tennessee Republicans and Democrats argued the new voucher expansion breaks promises made to public school districts last year. House Republicans also quietly slipped in a new amendment that could target public school funding for immigrant students. chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2026…

Today, the Tennessee House of Representatives passed HB 793.
HB 793 won’t make Tennessee’s classrooms safer or stronger. It will inject fear into school communities and pull educators away from their central mission: helping students learn.

TN is undercounting economically disadvantaged students and underfunding their schools as a result.
When we fail to identify students in need, inequities persist and gaps widen. Read our report "The Undercount" to learn why getting this right matters.
