Congratulations Tennessee providing postsecondary access for all students! Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed a law Tuesday promising free community college tuition to every high school graduate in the state. Michael Steele is principal of Stratford STEM Magnet High School in Nashville. More than half of the seniors here applied to college. Most of our students live below the poverty line, he says. Many of them dont have parents directly involved in their lives, many of them live with guardians, many of them live in state foster homes and some are homeless. The Tennessee Promise would use $34 million a year from lottery funds to cover tuition for a two-year degree at a community college.
