Governor Bredesen has presented a pre-kindergarten program. The issues that must be addressed and dealt with now. Is it mandatory? How will it be funded long-term? (ie. Tenncare), What will be the standards? What will be the content? Will local school districts manage the program? Will daycares non-profit/for-profit private sector entities be allowed to run the program? There are so many questions.
I hope that the legislature will examine this proposal with caution. If we all travel back a few years ago, Democrat Governor Ned McWherter proposed a grand plan called Tenncare that was approved and now look where we are.
Beware of politician governors that have resume building programs, and No details.
Stay Tuned
