The bill faces an important vote in the Senate Education Committee today. The Tennessee Firefly will be watching and we'll have much more on what happens following the meeting. Give us a read. tnfirefly.com
The legislation does a number of things to address the problem, including requiring school districts to simply list out what vacant properties they have. A bit more on that. tnfirefly.com/20240131/schoo…

@TheTNFirefly @SkyBArnold @RyanWilliamsTN From my days on Nashville School Board, they allowed a charter school 2 lease a dilapidated building BUT any needed repairs (like AC) were on the charter & not @MetroSchools. So the charter had 2 work w/less money per student AND improve rented property. Shameful--and I said so.
