Establishes a universal pre-K program in Tennessee, funded by a tax on digital advertising services.
The Tennessee Universal Pre-K Funding Act creates a universal pre-kindergarten program for four-year-olds in Tennessee. The program is voluntary and aims to increase access to high-quality education before kindergarten. It mandates that each local education agency (LEA) provide a pre-kindergarten program with specific requirements, including a maximum class size of 20 students, certified teachers, and educational assistants. Enrollment is determined by an initial deadline and, if necessary, a lottery.
