How rural lawmakers could prove pivotal in Tennessee voucher debate Many local officials in rural areas oppose school vouchers. Some state lawmakers from those areas back Gov. Bill Lee's plan.

Rural districts are especially hurt by school voucher schemes, which threaten crucial state aid even when spent from another line in the budget.

What do they get in return? Sub-prime, pop-up schools that destroy student outcomes.
