A new poll by the conservative think tank Beacon Center found Gov. Bill Lee's proposal to expand school vouchers statewide is broadly popular, Knox News reports. The poll, conducted between Dec. 14 and 28, asked respondents whether they would oppose or support expanding the Educational Savings Account program which allows eligible K-12 families to use a portion of per-pupil funding for “private school tuition, tutoring, education therapy, or other educational purposes." Support was highest among Republicans at 85%, though a majority of both independents and Democrats supported the plan.
