Education - As enacted, requires a student's LEA or public charter school to convene a conference attended by the student's guardian, ELA teacher, and school principal if the student is promoted to fourth grade and does not show adequate growth in order to determine if the student should be promoted to fifth grade with required tutoring or retained in the fourth grade. - Amends TCA Title 49.
This bill amends the Tennessee education code to change a specific deadline from ten calendar days to ten business days. It directly affects school administrators and staff who must meet these timeframes when handling student records or scheduling conferences. The change ensures that administrative tasks have weekends and holidays excluded from the count, providing a more practical timeline for schools to complete required actions.
