Tennessee’s Education Savings Account (ESA) program will be heading back to court on Aug. 5 after a motion for a temporary injunction was filed by the Shelby and Davidson County governments. A separate motion was also filed on behalf of parents in those communities by the law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd. A three-judge panel will hear the motions just days before the start of the new school year. Even if the state’s voucher program moves forward, the legal fight is expected to continue, WPLN reports. The ESA program passed the legislature but was held up in the courts. Earlier this month, the Davidson County Chancery Court lifted an injunction, allowing the program to go into effect.
