About Tennessee Educational Funding and Policy (TNEFP)

The Tennessee Educational Funding and Policy (TNEFP) is an independent nonprofit research organization dedicated to analyzing the intersection of educational finance and systemic inequality. Grounded in Critical Geography and Race (CGR) theory, TNEFP provides data-driven insights into how school funding and policy impact student outcomes across Tennessee’s rapidly growing metropolitan landscapes. Our mission is to inform public stakeholders and promote adequate funding models that ensure every student has access to an adequate and high-quality education. We specialize in longitudinal studies and policy evaluation, with a specific focus on the high-growth corridors. By bridging the gap between spatial research and educational policy, TNEFP serves as a critical resource for legislators, district leaders, and community advocates working toward a more just and equitable educational future for all students.
