Public Money, Private Profits
School vouchers in Tennessee
2 min readAug 8, 2024
School vouchers transfer public money to the hands of private operators.
These privatizers often have little or no accountability — that is, they don’t report how they spend the money to taxpayers. There is not an elected oversight board.
Tennessee currently has a limited school voucher program, and Gov. Bill Lee wants to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to expand that program statewide.
A story I wrote about Lee’s struggles to get members of his own party to support vouchers earned “featured” status over at ManyStories.
I’m pleased to see stories like this reach a broader audience.
ManyStories may not help your writing “catch fire” in terms of virality, but it can help you reach new viewers.
