Education - As introduced, requires the state board of education to authorize a student who is working toward completing a career and technical education elective focus to substitute up to four career and technical education course credits for the required chemistry course credit, computer science course credit, world language course credit, and Algebra II course credit necessary to earn a full diploma upon graduation from high school. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1001 would allow high school students pursuing a career and technical education (CTE) focus to replace up to four required course credits (chemistry, computer science, world language, and Algebra II) with CTE course credits toward their high school diploma. The bill requires the Tennessee State Board of Education to authorize this substitution for eligible students. It directly affects CTE students who want flexibility in meeting graduation requirements without changing the total credit count. The policy would take effect July 1, 2025, if enacted. This is a substantive change to graduation requirements, not a procedural measure.
