SB 2557, known as the Innovative School District Act, amends multiple sections of Tennessee's education code to establish a new framework for operating innovative school districts. The bill specifically targets public universities that are comprehensive doctoral institutions and host public training schools covering grades Pre-K through 12, allowing them to meet specific criteria to run these districts. A key provision of the law changes the start date for a relevant administrative period from November 1 to October 15, effective January 1, 2025. This change applies to the state's public education system, particularly affecting the relationship between higher education institutions and K-12 schooling.
