Tennessee governor’s education funding proposal lands major endorsement
A statewide partnership of greater than 40 civil liberties, social justice, as well as education and learning campaigning for teams on Monday introduced their assistance for Gov. Expense Lee’s proposition to overhaul just how Tennessee funds public education and learning.
The Tennessee Partnership for Equity in Education and learning called Lee’s formula, which supplies even more financing for pupils with greater requirements, a “significant renovation” over the state’s present technique as well as “a vital progression beforehand equity as well as focusing trainee requirements” in K-12 financing.
Majority of the partnership’s 72 companion companies authorized the recommendation, varying from the NAACP as well as the Tennessee Handicap Union to the Memphis Education And Learning Fund, Mean Kid, as well as the Tennessee Educators of Shade Partnership.
Their cumulative assistance comes as state legislators get in the homestretch of their 2022 legal session as well as in advance of today’s vital board ballots on Lee’s strategy, called Tennessee Financial investment in Pupil Accomplishment, or TISA. If the legislature authorizes the revise, Tennessee will certainly sign up with 38 states as well as the Area of Columbia in having some kind of student-based financing design.
Tennessee’s present financing system is resource-based as well as designates cash to college systems to spend for staffing, bus transport, books, modern technology, as well as loads of various other education and learning requirements. The state places 44th country wide in state as well as regional education and learning financing, according to the Education and learning Legislation Facility, which in 2015 provided the state Fs for its financing degree as well as initiative.
Lee intends to include a yearly $1 billion in state financing yet likewise desires an education and learning financing formula that Tennesseans can comprehend far better than the present one, which is thought about amongst the country’s most made complex. The 30-year-old Basic Education and learning Program formula utilizes trainee registration as well as 46 elements to establish financing degrees as well as an additional procedure to establish state as well as regional shares.
In late February, the Republican politician guv launched information of his proposition to change the BEP with a less complex, extra clear technique. It would certainly establish a base financing price of $6,860 per student, after that disperse extra cash per student to sustain pupils in particular teams such as those that are thought about financially deprived, have distinct understanding requirements, or stay in neighborhoods that are country or have actually focused destitution.
The costs, based upon Lee’s proposition, has actually been modified numerous times, consisting of dropping his strategy to offer an additional per-pupil financing weight for charter college pupils. The most up to date variation rather would certainly give straight financing to assist charter institutions pay center expenses.
Democrats as well as some Republican politicians have actually requested even more time to veterinarian TISA as well as get the answer to their concerns, mentioning the relevance of the problem for pupils as well as institutions, in addition to problems that the adjustments can have a substantial result on regional spending plans as well as tax obligations. However leaders in the GOP-controlled legislature stated just recently that they’re pleased with the costs’s development as well as can make adjustments following year, if required, prior to the brand-new financing formula would certainly work start with the 2023-24 academic year.
In its declaration, the partnership sustained the guv’s suggested brand-new financial investment, in addition to the base of $6,860 for each trainee, which is over the nationwide typical of $6,000 per trainee.
The team suched as that regarding 95% of the cash would certainly move via either the per-pupil based appropriation or extra weights, “guaranteeing that this brand-new formula concentrates on the monetary requirements of regional institutions, supplies general monetary security for college areas, supplies higher openness to college employees as well as area participants, as well as supplies optimal investing adaptability for areas to satisfy each trainee’s distinct requirements.” The partnership likewise mentioned a current evaluation from the Sycamore Institute, a detached research study team, that stated TISA is not likely to bring about regional tax obligation rises.
Leaders with numerous of the partnership’s companion companies stated their choice to sustain TISA rested on their final thought that it’s inevitably a much better formula than the state’s present one.
“Individuals can say the details of TISA for life, yet at the end of the day, TISA is an extra fair financing technique as well as cross demographics as well as scenario to offer each trainee in our state a much better chance to prosper than they had under the old formula,” stated Jared Bigham, elderly consultant on labor force as well as country campaigns for the Tennessee Chamber of Business & Market.
Jeff Hair, with the Tennessee Special needs Union, stated the financing weights recognize that pupils have various requirements — which some requirements set you back even more to attend to.
“We are motivated by TISA’s charitable weights for pupils with handicaps, in addition to its concentrate on offering funds to completely personnel institutions, that includes registered nurses, therapists as well as social employees,” stated Hair.
Gini Pupo-Walker, state supervisor of the Education and learning Rely On Tennessee, stated her company has actually been mainly pleased with numerous changes, consisting of one to include the State Board of Education and learning in any type of brand-new system for holding areas answerable for just how they invest state funds to boost trainee success.
“This formula isn’t excellent as well as there’s still function to do, yet we seem like the basics are great,” stated Pupo-Walker. “We’ve been speaking about relocating to a student-centered formula for 2 years, as well as this checks a great deal of boxes.”
The partnership released in 2021 to proceed the job of the previous Tennessee Education and learning Equity Union by promoting for plans that advertise academic equity for underserved pupils.

Tennessee football fan gets into argument with wife live during Vols postgame radio show

No. 15 Tennessee rolled to a convincing 69-3 victory over Chattanooga in the Vols’ first game of the 2024 college football season on Saturday.
There was little to critique in the victory as Josh Heupel’s squad demolished an overmatched Mocs team. Starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava was brilliantly efficient in the start, completing 22 of 28 passes for 314 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Dylan Sampson rushed 12 times for 124 yards and three more scores.
The defense was also impressive, limiting Chattanooga to just 227 offensive yards and a paltry three points.

However, at least one Tennessee fan had something to gripe about after the game. And it had nothing to do with what occurred on the field. As noted by Russell Smith — one of the hosts for “The Voluntary Reaction” postgame show on Fox Sports Knoxville — a Tennessee fan got into a verbal argument with his wife after calling into the radio show.
It led to an awkward moment live on the air as listeners everywhere heard the argument.
“Get off the damn sports radio, it doesn’t matter to your family,” a woman can be heard saying in the background. “It’s a loser situation. My dad needs your help.”
After a short pause, the woman can then be heard saying, “I’m so done with you. I know you don’t care. … I’ll take your two-and-a-half million dollars.”
At that point, the audio cuts out, with no obvious outcome in the verbal argument.
Whether the Tennessee fan will call into the show again remains to be seen.

Cleveland Browns Acquire 3-Time All-Pro Receiver In Bold Trade Idea
![Cleveland Browns Acquire 3-Time All-Pro Receiver In Bold Trade Idea Cleveland Browns Acquire 3-Time All-Pro Receiver In Bold Trade Idea](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3127,h_1758,x_0,y_164/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/browns_digest/01j6mwtye7ns21eg5w69.jpg)
The Cleveland Browns were reportedly in the hunt for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk earlier this month, but Aiyuk apparently had no interest in going to the Browns and ultimately ended up signing an extension with the 49ers.
But perhaps the Browns are not done examining options at wide out.
Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox has suggested that Cleveland pursue a trade for Tennessee Titans star DeAndre Hopkins, noting all of the cap space the Browns opened by restructuring Deshaun Watson’s contract.
Of course, Watson and Hopkins were a dynamic duo during their days with the Houston Texans, so perhaps reuniting Watson with his former teammate could help bring the quarterback out of his shell in Cleveland.
Unlike in the proposed Aiyuk deal where the Browns would have had to part ways with Amari Cooper, Knox is surmising that Cleveland would end up keeping Cooper in any potential trade for Hopkins.
If the Browns were able to land Hopkins, they would suddenly boast an impressive receiving trio of Cooper, Hopkins and Jerry Jeudy, providing Watson will all of the weapons he needs to rediscover his previous form.
Hopkins may not be the same elite pass-catcher he was during his Texans days, but he is coming off of an impressive 2023 campaign in which he hauled in 75 receptions for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. He managed to achieve that with rather subpar quarterback play in Tennessee.
The 32-year-old has made five Pro Bowl appearances while also earning three First-Team All-Pro selections throughout his NFL career, which began with Houston in 2013. He also spent three seasons with the Arizona Cardinals before joining the Titans last year.
