A bill that would give Tennessee’s governor the authority to issue an executive order requiring all schools to offer in-person learning is advancing. The full Senate approved Germantown Republican Senator Brian Kelsey’s bill yesterday, sending it to the House of Representatives. The legislation would also give school boards more independence to decide whether their schools should be open or closed to in-person learning during a public emergency, unless the governor issues a statewide order. Kelsey said mandated directives should only come from elected leaders who are accountable to the people they serve.
