Schools in Memphis, Knoxville, and Nashville Interested in New Voucher Program

 

Nearly 60 private schools thus far want to participate in Tennessee’s new voucher program.

This, according to Chalkbeat.org, which said 30 schools in the Memphis area are among them. Representatives from 26 schools in Nashville and one school in Memphis are also interested.

“But some schools may drop out or be culled in the application process to come,” according to Chalbeat.org
