It was introduced by Daniel Watson, who said the agenda item was a result of discussions with Superintendent Bob Thomas and the board's attorneys. He said that he decided to withdraw agenda items about health protocols and guidance from the Tennessee Department of Health to substitute it for a broader discussion about leaders' authorities.
