Karl Dean voiced support for “universal Pre-k” and making it an option for all Tennessee 4 year olds. TQEE’s recent poll showed 94% of Tennesseans favor that solution. Bill Lee called for improving training and preparation for early grades teachers. Our poll says 89% of Tennesseans agree. Check out this short clip to see the candidates’ responses in full.
