Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed into law a $110 million package of bills aimed at addressing pandemic-related learning loss and low student literacy rates and ensuring teachers and districts are not punished based on standardized testing results this year.

In a bill signing ceremony at the state Capitol on Wednesday afternoon, Lee signed into law four bills passed by the General Assembly during a four-day special session last month.
