A legislative study committee kicked off a series of hearings this week designed to examine the feasibility of rejecting federal money for education, the Nashville Banner reports. The Joint Working Group on Federal Education Funding will hold five sessions over the next week and a half to hear from seven panels. The first presentation was from the Office of Research and Education Accountability, which focused on the federal funding formula that determines how much education aid each county in the state receives. Today, lawmakers were set to hear from The Sycamore Institute and local education leaders from across the state. Tennessee Lookout has the full schedule.
