Tennessee lawmaker Todd Warner expressed concern about potential losses for public schools due to President Donald Trump's executive order aiming to reduce the Department of Education's functions.

Local school officials, including Paul Peterson, discussed the significant financial impact federal education funding has on schools, estimating that up to 5.5% of the district's revenue depends on federal support.
