The Superintendent of Millington Municipal Schools, Bo Griffin, says that while regularly scheduled COVID-19 testing of students and teachers would be beneficial, it would be difficult to accomplish due to budget restrictions and the rights of parents and students to decline testing.
Griffin and the Superintendent of Lakeland's school system, Dr. Ted Horrell, join this week’s WKNO-TV Behind the Headlines with host Eric Barnes and The Daily Memphian’s Bill Dries. Guests talk about operating schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, including alterations to traditional in-class teaching, as well as changes to achievement tests.
