💨 Abstract

Republican lawmakers in Tennessee have temporarily halted a bill aiming to challenge the constitutional right for children to attend public schools regardless of their immigration status. With time running out in the legislative session, they are seeking guidance from U.S. officials on potential implications for federal education funding. The bill, if passed, would require proof of legal residence for K-12 public school enrollment, with schools permitted to turn away or charge students lacking proper documentation.
