Nashville: MNPS board members raise COVID concerns as 100+ teachers test positive

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Teachers in the classroom are facing yet another hurdle. During a Metro Nashville School Board meeting on Tuesday, board members expressed concerns about teachers having to choose between testing positive for COVID-19 and potentially running out of sick days.

“We have so many opportunities to be proactive, this is in our headlights. We can see that this is coming,” explained Sara Duran, with the Metro Nashville Education Association (MNEA). “If a teacher is not feeling well and they don’t have any more sick days, there’s a chance they may not test at all because then they would be eating through the very little sick days that they have.”..
