Education - As introduced, enacts the "Education Freedom Act of 2025." - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 49 and Title 49.

This bill, titled the Education Freedom Act of 2025, creates a new scholarship program in Tennessee that allows eligible public school students to attend private schools using state funds. The program is designed to give parents more choice in selecting educational institutions for their children by providing financial assistance to cover private school tuition. For the initial 2025-2026 school year, up to 20,000 scholarships will be awarded, with priority given to students from low-income households or those with specific eligibility statuses, while remaining slots are open to all eligible students. In subsequent years, the number of available scholarships will depend on the amount of money the state legislature appropriates, with a provision to increase the cap if demand exceeds 75% of the available funds. The Department of Education will administer the program, and recipients must enroll in a state-approved private school to receive the scholarship.
