Editorial Roundup: Tennessee

The Johnson City Press on returning to schools after a winter break during the pandemic: The annual winter break from school is a bigger relief than ever this year for students, teachers and especially school administrators. The pressure from schooling decisions around the novel coronavirus pandemic has been immense - perhaps not at the levels faced by frontline health care providers, but nonetheless in unprecedented ways.
