Local Education Agencies - As enacted, conditions the expulsion of a student for committing the zero tolerance offense of threatening mass violence on school property or at a school-related activity to threats of mass violence determined to be valid based on the results of a threat assessment; requires directors of schools and heads of public charter schools to report threats of mass violence on school property or at a school-related activity made by a student that are determined, based on the results of a threat assessment, to be valid. - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 49, Chapter 6.

This Tennessee bill changes how schools handle student threats of mass violence by requiring a formal threat assessment before any expulsion can occur. Under the new rules, school directors must first evaluate whether a threat is valid; if the assessment shows the threat was not real, the student cannot be expelled but may still face suspension. The law also mandates that school officials immediately report confirmed valid threats to local law enforcement. Additionally, the bill clarifies reporting duties for teachers and principals regarding various student safety incidents on school grounds.
