This joint resolution confirms the appointment of Thomas D. Lehrman to the Public Charter School Commission (PCSC), a nine-member body appointed by the Governor of Tennessee. The resolution notes that Lehrman, who will represent Middle Tennessee, is the managing partner of Teamworthy Ventures and a former co-founder of Gerson Lehrman Group, with an impressive background including a law degree from Yale, a Duke University undergraduate degree, and previous government service in the U.S. Department of State. Lehrman has significant experience in education governance, having served on boards of multiple charter and private schools in New York, including KIPP NYC Public Charter Schools. The resolution emphasizes that state law requires the General Assembly to confirm gubernatorial appointments to the PCSC, and specifically confirms Lehrman's appointment for a term ending on June 30, 2029, while also noting the statutory requirement that the commission must include at least three members from each of Tennessee's grand divisions (West, Middle, and East Tennessee).
