Two deaths of homeless people in Knox County are raising alarms

The deaths of two homeless people in Knox County since Nov. 1 – coupled with a significant drop in overnight temperatures – have amped up demands from community advocates for urgent action to make sure there is the right support for those living without housing. Knox County Regional Forensic Center spokesperson Mike Donila told Knox News on Nov. 10 the agency is investigating the causes of death. Preliminary information points to hypothermia in one death and a drug overdose in the other, but Donila emphasized toxicology tests could change the findings. Any death is "one too many," Knoxville-Knox County Office of Housing Stability Director Erin Read told Knox News. The issue has been at the center of multiple social media conversations, and is expected to be a topic of conversation during the public forum portion of tonight's Knoxville City Council meeting. Among the concerns raised is a lack of adequate warming centers – the city supports church-based warming centers only if the temperature drops to 25 degrees or lower. The churches, in turn, say they can't operate the centers without support from the city for a variety of reasons, including the need to have a permit to temporarily house people

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly
