Tennessee bill grants governor the power to unilaterally keep schools open as pandemic surges
This Sunday, April 18, at 4pm EDT, the Tennessee Educators Rank-and-File Safety Committee will meet to discuss the political situation in Tennessee, across the US and globally. We will develop a fighting strategy to contain the pandemic and oppose the efforts by Governor Lee and all the state’s politicians to dismantle public education and other vital social services.

On April 2, Senate Bill 103 passed the Tennessee state senate, granting Republican Governor Bill Lee the power to override local school boards and force schools to remain open for in-person learning. The passage of the bill coincides with the deepening of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a surge taking place in Michigan and a growing number of states, largely driven by school reopenings.
