Tennessee House Education Committee
Student testing, lack of broadband, and fears of low performing students came up Tuesday in a lengthy hearing on how Tennessee schools are coping with COVID-19. The Tennessee House Education Committee held a hearing as schools across Tennessee are either online or in class amid the pandemic. Another key point came from a lawmaker who told the committee what he’s heard from a majority of school superintendents across the state concerning kids who do not learn easily. Rep. David Hawk, a Republican from Greeneville voiced concern that, “Where we have lost a year, maybe two years of education are in our lower-performing students. Along with student testing and an estimated half-million K-12 students learning online, the issue of providing broadband remains critical for Tennessee’s rural school systems.
