Mobilize educators and workers across Tennessee to stop school reopenings in Memphis! The Tennessee Educators Rank-and-File Safety Committee denounces the decision of Shelby County Schools (SCS) officials to resume in-person instruction as the deadly COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage throughout the state, the country, and the world. SCS is the largest and final school system in Tennessee to capitulate to Republican Governor Bill Lee’s homicidal mandate to reopen public schools to in-person instruction at all costs. It follows closely on the decision of Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) to begin phasing in face-to-face instruction only weeks ago on January 29.
