"They don’t have access to those local government funds that are typically spent on public school facilities."
Tennessee charter schools are facing more than $72 million in facility needs, and a new fund is trying to help close that gap.
The Tennessee Charter School Center has launched the Volunteer Facilities Fund to help charter schools pay for new buildings, expansions, and major repairs without pulling as much money away from classrooms.
Here’s how it works and why charter leaders say facilities remain one of their biggest financial challenges. 🔽
