Tennessee is set to receive more than $1.1 billion in new federal funding for K-12 education through Congress' latest $900 billion coronavirus relief package, the Tennessean reports. The U.S. Department of Education is urging states and educators to use the funding to fully reopen K-12 schools in-person and to "take immediate action to address the unprecedented learning loss" caused by a lack of in-person school. The move comes as the Tennessee legislature is poised to hold a special session this month on education issues.
