Episode Details

Tennessee lawmakers have extended a lifeline to a dozen low-performing virtual public schools, giving them three extra years to improve before potential shutdowns. The new bill replaces a strict deadline with a three-year grace period, focusing on schools with the lowest academic growth scores. Critics argue this may unfairly target virtual schools and could lead to for-profit operators abandoning struggling students. The bill now awaits Governor Bill Lees signature, aiming to hold virtual schools accountable without hasty closures.
