ā¢ School voucher bill narrowly passes state House (greenevillesun.com) ā A Blountville-based state representative, Timothy Hill, joined a narrow House majority backing a major expansion of Tennesseeās school voucher program, which now moves to the Senate. The bill would boost available scholarships to 35,000 statewide and includes new funding protections for public districts losing students. Northeast Tennessee lawmakers split sharply, so local families may want to track how this could affect nearby schools.
