The End of SPED? Resource Hub

 

The Tennessee General Assembly has announced that they will convene a "joint working group" to study the state's possible refusal of $1.89 billion in federal education funding and to develop a proposal to reject those funds moving forward. Federal education funding currently pays for much of the extra costs associated with educating kids living in poverty, kids learning English, and, importantly, kids with disabilities. Information and resources about what the plan to reject federal education funds could mean for students with disabilities in Tennessee are below.
