Recent developments in Tennessee and Alabama underscore a growing momentum for school choice initiatives in these states. In Tennessee, AFP-TN Polling revealed that a proposed school choice program has garnered over 70% support among rural State Senate districts. Stakeholders are encouraged to watch committee hearings to understand the legislative process. The initiative aims to allow parents to direct educational funding towards their choice of schools, thus avoiding what some describe as "failing government indoctrination camps." A bill supporting this initiative passed out of a Tennessee House K12 Subcommittee, aligning with Governor Bill Lee and various stakeholders, including parents, students, and teachers, advocating for more educational choices. Meanwhile, in Alabama, the House passed Governor Kay Ivey's CHOOSE Act, House Bill 129, designed to fund students instead of systems, with a vote of 69 to 34. The CHOOSE Act, now headed to the Senate, represents a significant step towards implementing an effective and sustainable education savings account plan in the state.

School choice is up in a Tennessee subcommittee right now. It's a very good bill that would ensure kids are not trapped in failing government indoctrination camps. Tune in to watch the teachers' unions use your tax dollars to lobby against your interests: https://t.co/41vtexBsII
This is up in a TN House committee now. I encourage you to start watching committee hearings as you can and listen to what lawmakers say when discussing significant issues like this one. https://t.co/gVVr6tUqnC https://t.co/xHBkJn1WER
