CARROLL COUNTY, Tenn. — The new State Education Commissioner paid a visit to a West Tennessee school system.

The purpose of Commissioner Penny Schwinn’s visit on Wednesday was to see teachers and students in action.

One of her stops was in the West Carroll School District.

Schwinn explained why it is important for teachers and students to have a connection.
