Our latest memo, Federal Education Funding in Tennessee, offers a foundational understanding of the current federal education funding streams. It is the first in our Informing the Conversation series, a collection of resources offering data, research, insights, and ideas to inform discussions about Tennessee education in the context of federal shifts.

Mansouri: Tennessee Must Commit to New Goals for Students |
It’s time to build on Tennessee's history of steady education improvements — like recent gains in math and reading — to ensure all students achieve success. SCORE President and CEO David Mansouri outlines the TN2030 goals that can help ensure Tennessee remains at the forefront of high achievement while building education pathways that lead to workforce success. When just one additional student in every public classroom across the state makes progress toward each of the TN2030 goals, we can achieve groundbreaking success as a state. Read and share David’s guest column in The Tennessean with colleagues and friends who can help make these goals a reality.

Funding from federal sources to Tennessee education supports key programs, including school meals, financial aid, COVID recovery, and additional needs for students with disabilities — among many other efforts. Federal funding makes up about 17% of K-12 education funds and 39% of higher education funding in Tennessee. Our recent memo outlines the streams of federal funding that Tennessee received for K-12 (2023-24) and higher education (2022-23) and how those funds were allocated.
