KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knox County Schools' Superintendent said he cannot shake feelings of helplessness after Monday's officer-involved shooting at Austin-East Magnet High School.
Classes at the high school were canceled in light of the shooting, which has now been extended out to Monday, April 19. Students are scheduled to move to online-only learning on Tuesday and Wednesday. 
Today, Austin-East students will return to school for the first full day of classes since the shooting.
"Do what's best for you and your family," school board member Evetty Satterfield said. "If you have kids that want to come and be with their teachers, we're here and our doors are open. If you have kids that need that time to process what happened and take care of themselves, do that as well."
