Governor Bill Lee is recommending all Tennessee schools stay closed through Friday, April 24th. The recommendation came during a Tuesday afternoon press conference. Rutherford County and Murfreesboro City Schools will be following that recommendation.
Rutherford County Schools spokesperson James Evans stated in a recording to parents...
Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn praised the governor's recommendation, saying "we know school closures represent a significant disruption for families and students and the recommendation to extend them has not been considered lightly."
Rutherford County and Murfreesboro City Schools originally announced at the beginning of the coronavirus crisis they'd remain closed through the scheduled spring break, which ends April 3rd. But again - both systems will remain closed through April 24th.
