Tennessee will distribute $5 million in federal COVID-19 education relief dollars to charter schools across the state, Gov. Bill Lee announced Wednesday.

Half of the grant funds will be awarded to charter schools on a per-pupil basis, and the other half will be allocated based on the school’s substantial academic growth in literacy and math.
