    We received waivers to continue school nutrition programs during COVID-19 closures. We are thankful federal agencies granted these waivers to ensure our districts can serve students & provide nutritious meals they may not otherwise have received --> tn.gov/education/news…

    No student, educator, or school should be adversely impacted due to the loss of instructional time caused by COVID-19. Thank you to the General Assembly for quickly addressing this issue and providing clarity to our educators and families. tn.gov/education/news…

    We have been working closely w/ the Governor's office & legislative leadership to ensure no schools or students are adversely affected due to school closures. See summary of the proposal here on waiving TNReady & EOC assessments. We must continue to support students & teachers.

    Proud to share that this fall all Tennessee public school seniors will again have the opportunity to retake the ACT at no cost to them. As we work toward our goal of a statewide avg. ACT of 21 by 2020, opportunities like this will move our students one step closer. #TNSucceeds
