As the ball dropped to welcome in the new year, the change in calendar also marked the halfway point of the school year and the imminent start of the legislative session in Tennessee, where education issues are likely to be a key focus. In Hamilton County, several critical education stories are expected to unfold throughout 2025, shaping the future of local schools and impacting students, parents, and educators alike.
One major area of attention will be the ongoing discussions surrounding funding for public education.
