School Vouchers - As introduced, expands eligibility for an education freedom scholarship to students who are enrolled in an out-of-district public school. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 2598 expands Tennessee's education freedom scholarship program to allow students enrolled in public schools outside their designated district (out-of-district public schools) to receive state-funded scholarships, previously limited to private school enrollment. The bill requires that scholarship recipients in out-of-district public schools take the same standardized tests as public school students and that schools report test results to the state, broken down by grade, income, and other demographic factors. Scholarship amounts for out-of-district public schools cover the full tuition and fees charged by those schools. This change, effective July 2026, aims to broaden school choice options while maintaining testing and reporting requirements for accountability.
