We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense disruption for Tennessee’s students, educators, and districts, and the challenges they face must be addressed urgently. https://bit.ly/34VXGCt
Even before the virus hit, and despite years of improvement, too many of our state’s students were still unable to read on grade level.
I’m calling on the legislature to join us in addressing these serious issues so we can equip our hardworking educators and districts with the resources and supports they need to set our students on the path to success.
The TN General Assembly will convene for a special legislative session on January 19, 2021, to address urgent issues facing our students and schools in the 2021-22 school year including learning loss, funding, accountability, literacy, and teacher pay. https://bit.ly/34VXGCt
