American Federation For Children Applauds Governor Lee and General Assembly as Education Savings Accounts Become Law in Tennessee

After Governor Bill Lee signed the historic Education Savings Account (ESA) legislation into law, the American Federation for Children, the nation’s voice for educational choice, released the following statement:
Statement from John Schilling, President of the American Federation for Children:
“With this expanded Education Savings Account program, Governor Bill Lee and the General Assembly have opened doors for thousands of Tennessee children. By empowering families with greater education freedom, they have multiplied the opportunities available to students that can positively impact the trajectory of their lives. This is no small feat and we thank the governor, his team, and the dedicated legislative leaders that have worked for many years to expand educational opportunities for children in Tennessee. We will continue to fight to ensure families have choices when it comes to their children’s education until every child in Tennessee has access to the high quality education that best fits his or her unique needs.”
