The panel considering if Tennessee should walk away from federal education funding for K-12 schools has set its meeting schedule for November. The Federal Education Funding Working Group will meet Nov. 6, 7, 8, 14 and 15. Panel co-chair Sen. Jon Lundberg, R-Bristol, tells Chalkbeat that, "There is no predetermined outcome for this working group, or for what the information we gather is going to show. We want to look at what federal education money we get, where it goes, what we're required to do to get those funds, and ultimately what's the return on the investment."
