Questions Arise Around Education Department Contracts in Tennessee
Nashville education blogger TC Weber has some questions about a multi-million dollar contract extension for The New Teacher Project (TNTP) from the Tennessee Department of Education.
The key concern: Commissioner of Education Penny Schwinn’s spouse is an employee of TNTP and stands to financially benefit from the contract.
As Weber notes, though, another element of importance is this: The contract is very likely not necessary.
