HB 2486 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Education - As enacted, requires a director of schools who is appointed by the local board of education elected by the general public to have a baccalaureate degree and meet any other qualifications or requirements established by the local board of education. - Amends TCA Title 49.

This bill amends Tennessee law to allow school directors, who are appointed by locally elected school boards, to delegate specific duties to other administrators or employees. The change requires the school board to first adopt a formal policy authorizing such delegation before it can take place. By enabling this flexibility, the legislation aims to streamline school operations while maintaining oversight through local board approval. The law applies to all public school districts in Tennessee where the director is selected by an elected board.
