Earlier this week, Gov. Bill Haslam stated that historically, Tennessee has not spent enough on education, but officials are working to change that. The governor was speaking before a group of educators and businessmen in Memphis about the need for careful allocation of resources in that area. He said Tennessee is one of the top 10 states now with increasing funds toward education. Several school districts are suing the state for what local officials have called a dramatic underfunding of kindergarten-through-12th-grade education. Haslam’s budget this year included over $200 million of extra funding.
