Education - As enacted, authorizes certain opportunity public charter schools serving any of the grades six through 12 for which at least 75 percent of the students enrolled in the school, at the time of enrollment, are at-risk students. - Amends TCA Title 49.
This bill amends state education laws to require the Tennessee Department of Education to provide a specific form to all local school districts on its website. The change directly affects school administrators and districts that need to access this form for compliance or administrative purposes. By making the form publicly available online, the legislation ensures easier access for schools without requiring them to request it through other channels. The act took effect immediately upon signing and became fully operational on July 1, 2024.
