Teachers, Principals and School Personnel - As enacted, makes changes to the law relative to temporary teaching permits and teaching end-of-course examination classes. - Amends TCA Title 49.

This bill restricts the issuance of temporary teaching permits in Tennessee by prohibiting their use for physical education and special education courses. It also requires the state commissioner to evaluate specific factors, such as staff availability and timing, before granting a temporary permit for classes that require end-of-course exams. These changes apply to permits issued for the 2024-2025 school year and all subsequent years, affecting school districts and charter schools in the state.
