Gov. Bill Lee

This is Gov. Lee's recommendation. As soon as we hear an official word from GCCSD, we will let you know.

In order to keep every Tennessean safe during this pandemic, I am recommending that schools remain closed through the end of this school year.

We must also ensure the safety and wellbeing of every child in TN during this time.

The COVID-19 Child Wellbeing Task Force, led by Tennessee Department of Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn, will work with local communities to support our students during times of school closure and beyond.

Virtual Holy Week
The Trenton Gazette and Tri-City Reporter newspapers invite local pastors to share their daily Holy Week messages and devotionals on our newspaper pages April 5-12. Please post your videos or written devotionals to our pages or send to Laurin Stroud, [email protected], for her to post for you. The invitation is also open to local ministers of music, choir directors and members, or others to post videos of themselves singing or playing a spiritual song. Please share your gifts with our communities! We’ll miss not being able to fellowship together in person and enjoy the meals that our local churches provide during this special week, but we can meet together virtually to encourage one another and celebrate this most sacred time of year. Please tag your pastor and share this post with others. Thanks!
