NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is recommending all schools statewide remain closed for the 2019-2020 school year.

Lee made the announcement during his daily update on Wednesday, April 15.

The briefing is scheduled for 3 p.m. Watch below:

Districts will make the final decision to close for the remainder of the school year. All districts have followed Lee's previous recommendations to remain closed due to the virus.

Nashville Mayor John Cooper confirmed Wednesday morning that there is no official reopening date for Metro Nashville Public Schools.

All Tennessee schools first closed by March 20 in response to Lee’s recommendation on March 16, about two weeks after the state’s first confirmed case of COVID-19.

Many districts in Middle Tennessee chose to close their doors before Gov. Lee made the announcement in March.

Until Wednesday, it had been unclear when or if students will head back to school.

Lee's recommendation was met with support by Tennessee Department of Education Penny Schwinn.

Schwinn also said the state is creating a COVID-19 Child Wellbeing Task Force.

"Children being out of school for such a long time has significant implications for a child's wellbeing, and this poses a different kind of challenge for all of us, as communities and as a state," Schwinn said. "There is critical work ahead, and I am honored to convene the COVID-19 Child Wellbeing Task Force in the coming weeks to focus state and local leaders on the wellbeing of Tennessee’s children."

During an emergency meeting last week, the Tennessee Board of Education passed a rule that no high school students should receive a grade lower than the grade they earned in a class as of March 20.

Earlier this week, Lee announced he's extending the state's stay-at-home order until April 30.
