SCORE’s State of Education in TN Report

Last week, our friends at the State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE), released their 11th annual report that reflects on the state of education over the past year and provides recommendations and identifies priorities moving forward into the new year. With COVID-19 making a drastic impact in our student’s education this year, now more than ever, it’s imperative we work together to ensure the Volunteer State is helping our students succeed as they transition from postsecondary education and beyond in order for our economy to thrive.
