Local Education Agencies - As enacted, adds local law enforcement officials to those who must be appointed to each district-wide school safety team; specifies that it is each district-wide school safety team and each building-level school safety team that is required to annually review the respective district-wide or building-level school safety plan. - Amends TCA Title 49.

This bill requires local law enforcement officers to be included as members of every school safety team in Tennessee. It also mandates that both district-wide and individual building safety teams must review their safety plans every year. These changes aim to ensure consistent safety oversight and police involvement across all school districts and buildings in the state.
