Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen delivered his State of the State Address Monday night and one of his focuses in both his budget and his speech was education.
From the Tennessean:
"Gov. Phil Bredesen proposed $287 million in new education spending in his budget proposal but warned in his State of the State speech on Monday that prudent fiscal decisions must be made amid economic uncertainty.
"His $27.9 billion budget next fiscal year includes lowering the grade point average for returning college students to keep their lottery scholarships — from 3.0 to 2.75 — and using $200 million in lottery reserves to help low-income students pay college tuition."
