Parents can and should make decisions about what is best for their own children. But public dollars carry public obligations. Tennessee’s Constitution is clear about the state’s responsibility to provide a free system of public education, and those obligations cannot be met by steadily diverting resources away from public schools. The governor’s budget reflects his priorities. Now the choice belongs to the General Assembly.

“Shutting down the U.S. Department of Education isn’t about ‘state control.’ States already control most of public education. It’s about taking away much-needed services from our students, and then dismantling, defunding and privatizing our great public schools," said TEA President Tanya T. Coats. “For a state which played such a prominent role in the history of the U.S. civil rights movement, Tennesseans know more than most how important federal protections are in the course of our nation’s history for vulnerable and minority students and communities."

“If the U.S. Department of Education is broken apart, the rights of students—particularly our most vulnerable—will be undercut. Our students would be at risk of losing access to academic lessons, civil rights protections, and life skills that prepare them for the future," she said.

“Also at the federal level, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) program has been transformative for countless students with disabilities and their families," Coats said. TNEA.org/dangerous-plan
