As schools navigate reopening during a pandemic, some state lawmakers will return to Nashville this month to hear updates and demand answers, the Tennessean reports. The House Education Committee is set to meet Sept. 22 and 23. Topping the agenda is the approach Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn is taking to re-openings as well as a failed rollout of a student wellness check program. The Professional Educators of Tennessee, a nonpartisan teacher association, suggested lawmakers might even seek a "no confidence" vote on the commissioner. The group does not support such a move but has its own list of complaints.
