The Tennessee GOP, disturbed that the Nashville and Memphis public school districts have not returned to in-person classes, has filed a bill that would permit Tennessee’s education commissioner to yank some or all of a school district’s state funding if the district doesn’t offer at least 70 days of in-person K-8 classes by the end of the 2020-2021 school year.
The bill was filed by House Majority Leader William Lamberth and Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson. “Funds also could be withheld if public schools don’t offer in-person learning options to elementary and middle school students all 180 days of the 2021-22 academic year,” The Tennessean reported.
