From the meeting
Rutherford County, Union County, and Lakeland all pushed changes to the Special Education Preschool Grant Program. The resolutions sought reapplication for leftover funds and higher annual appropriations to cover mandated special education preschool services. TSBA recommended adoption of the funding requests.
This is a clear grant-funding signal tied to IDEA-style preschool costs and state budget action, with next steps at the General Assembly and Department of Education.
