Gov. Don Sundquist today unveiled a plan that would give parents a choice in their children's education by allowing charter schools in Tennessee.
Competition is a powerful motivator.
I want to broaden the choices parents have within our system of public education. I believe we have such a bill. I invite the careful scrutiny of the General Assembly and of our citizens. And I will be working hard for its passage this year. The governor detailed his proposal during an announcement in his Capitol office, where he was joined by Education Commissioner Jane Walters and Sens.
