SUMMARY:Understanding Tennessee’s Education Budget with The Sycamore Institute
DESCRIPTION:On February 2\, 2026\, Governor Lee delivered his final annual State of the State address and unveiled his priorities for the year and his recommendations for the 2026-2027 budget. Tennessee’s budget is one of the most significant pieces of public policy our governor and the Tennessee General Assembly tackle each year. Yet understanding what’s in it\, why it matters\, and how it works can be a challenge. Join EdTrust-Tennessee on Monday\, March 2 at 3:00 PM CT / 4:00 PM ET to reflect on Governor Lee’s budget and the important education implications it has for our students and schools communities. \nThis session will be led by policy expert Mandy Spears\, Executive Vice President of The Sycamore Institute\, an independent nonpartisan Public Policy Research Center that works to help Tennesseans understand the complex issues impacting our state by providing accessible\, reliable data and research. Each year\, the Sycamore Institute conducts a thorough analysis of Tennessee’s budget\, seeking to support stakeholders to understand where money comes from\, where it goes\, and what factors influence its flow through the state. Advocates will leave this session with resources and a better understanding of Tennessee’s budget content\, how the budget process works\, and how the budget will impact our education system this upcoming year. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Advocacy Alert: Legislative Briefing
DESCRIPTION:This concise\, information-packed 30-minute webinar will give advocates the key updates they need to effectively push for education access and opportunity at the Tennessee legislature. \nWe’ll discuss the two bills designed to challenge a constitutional and long-standing legal precedent that guarantees all children living in the United States access to free public school\, regardless of documentation status. \n\nSB836/HB793 would deny undocumented students access to public education.\nHB1711/SB2108 would force schools to check the immigration status of every student\, not just immigrant students. It includes a proposed amendment that contains a trigger provision aimed at overturning Plyler and passing HB793/SB836.\n\nRegister Now
