Americans for Prosperity – Tennessee Cheers Gov. Lee Signing Education Freedom Act into Law

Nashville, TN – This evening, Governor Bill Lee signed the Education Freedom Act into law, a major victory for Tennessee families and students across the Volunteer State. The law gives families access to universal school choice regardless of income level, and it goes into effect immediately, ahead of the 2025-2026 school year.

AFP-TN State Director Tori Venable released the following statement:

“Today marks a historic moment for Tennessee families and students. We applaud Governor Lee for his work to provide Tennessee kids with the best educational opportunities to fit their individual needs, from crafting this legislation to signing it into law.

“AFP-TN has been engaged in the fight for educational freedom in Tennessee for many, many years. We have been a strong advocate for school choice, directly connecting with nearly 200,000 Tennesseans at their doors and over the phone in the past year alone. We’re proud to see this massive win after combined years of policy and political work to empower parents across the Volunteer State.  

“We’d like to give a special thanks to Governor Lee and the state legislators who made this transformative piece of legislation a reality. We’re excited for all Tennessee students and the limitless opportunities that lie ahead for them.”
