The Davidson County Chancery Court today lifted an injunction on the state’s Education Savings Account (ESA) Pilot Program. The program had been upheld by the state Supreme Court in May but a few issues remained for the lower court to resolve. In a statement following the decision, Gov. Bill Lee said, “Today the court removed the final roadblock to getting Memphis and Nashville families additional options for high-quality education. Starting today, we will work to help eligible parents enroll this school year, as we ensure Tennessee families have the opportunity to choose the school that they believe is best for their child.” The Tennessee Department of Education will make ESA resources available online for parents in the coming days.
