NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Department of Education has recently developed, with support and guidance from the Tennessee Department of Health, a pandemic influenza preparedness planning guide for school districts that includes a Continuity of Learning plan.
“This planning guide will allow districts to think ahead and proactively about long-term closures, especially during a flu season like we’ve had this year,” Education Commissioner Timothy Webb said. “It is critical that students continue learning even if class time is effected due to illness.”
The preparedness planning guide will help school districts plan for potential closings, large numbers of staff and student absences, loss of services and methods to continue instruction should students remain at home.
