Facing criticism over state plans not to ask Tennessee school systems for information about coronavirus cases in their facilities — so it can be publicly reported — Gov. Bill Lee said Tuesday his administration is now working on a data strategy that protects privacy.
There have been concerns that some districts won’t share information with parents and the community about what is going on.
A number of districts have already or soon plan to reopen schools for in-person education for students. Hamilton County Schools is set to reopen Aug. 12 using a four-phase response ranging from all-online to in-person education, depending on local coronavirus cases. As of Tuesday, the schools were projecting Phase 3, in which individual campuses are closed as needed to respond to the pandemic. But officials said the case volume indicates a transition toward Phase 2, in which all students alternate on two-day-a-week schedules.
