Today Bill Lee announced a “sweeping” plan to fund “improvements to school security in Tennessee.” In addition to $140 million for a school resource officer in every public school, they announced a plan to budget $20 million for public school security upgrades and $7 million for private school security upgrades.
For the 2023 school year, there are 588 private schools serving 106,278 students in Tennessee (there are 1,881 public schools, serving 984,326 students).

If you do the math, which I did, the funding for school security upgrades comes out to the following:
Private schools - $65.86 per student
Public schools - $20.31 per student
Yes, they are going to provide more than triple the funds per student for private schools to upgrade security than they are for the public schools. Welcome to Tennessee.
