Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is slated to give his third annual State of the State speech on Feb. 8.

The first-term governor has entered his third year in office with fellow Republicans maintaining supermajorities in the House and Senate during the November elections.

Lee has called a special session starting Tuesday that will feature various education proposals aimed at bolstering student learning setbacks suffered because of time spent outside physical classrooms due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak promises to continue to consume the state's attention in 2021.

Lee is up for re-election in 2022.
