Tennessee Democrats unveiled their proposal Thursday to increase funding for public education across the state as well as connect students with vital support services.
The slate of education bills would boost the state's share of teacher salaries, tackle class sizes and add more counselors, social workers and school nurses in every school district.
The eight-bill legislative package would also tackle how the state funds education by increasing funding to the Basic Education Program funding formula.
