TNEFP launches a peer-reviewed, open-access journal at the intersection of geography, educational finance, and institutional equity. Submissions are now open for the inaugural issue.

A new peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the geography of educational opportunity. We are thrilled to announce that the Tennessee Equity-Focused Policy organization (TNEFP) is launching its inaugural academic journal — the Journal of Spatial Equity and Education (JSEE).

Tennessee Educational Funding and Policy (TNEFP) is a new nonprofit research organization dedicated to advancing equity in school finance through rigorous spatial analysis. Following approval from the Tennessee Secretary of State (CO54645), TNEFP is now authorized to begin its mission to inform public policy and promote equitable funding models across the state.

The landscape of Middle Tennessee is transforming at an unprecedented rate. As Nashville, Clarksville, and Murfreesboro expand, the physical boundaries of our communities are shifting, yet the structural frameworks governing our schools often remain tethered to the past.

The Tennessee Center for Educational Finance and Policy (TNEFP) operates as a research hub committed to a rigorous, justice-oriented analysis of public school funding systems.
