: The Tennessee Senate voted to pass the school voucher bill on Thursday, meaning the bill will head to Gov. Bill Lee's desk.

The Tennessee House voted to provide school vouchers to families in all 95 Tennessee counties. It passed in both chambers but not exactly on party lines.

Tennessee House and Senate education committees passed the governor’s private-school voucher program Tuesday, speeding the $450 million first-year expense to final votes before week’s end. Senators voted 8-1 to send the measure to the finance committee to be considered Wednesday.
