Memphis Commercial Appeal As communities debate whether Tennessee students should wear masks to school this fall, Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn reiterated Monday that the decision will be left up to local districts.  Schwinn said during a visit to Lowrance K-8 School in Shelby County that the department will work with the Department of Health on its school reopening guidance. But on masks, she said, that is a local decision, and I certainly support local control and making the best decisions for their communities. That will continue to be the position of the department, she said.  Schwinn s comments came a day before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday reversed course, recommending universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students and visitors inside schools from kindergarten to 12th grade, regardless of vaccination status.
