HB 1036 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education - As enacted, authorizes a state university board of trustees to conduct private meetings to discuss or deliberate on matters related to senior administration, personnel positions, and contracts, without taking action on such matters in a private meeting. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 14; Title 49, Chapter 4; Title 49, Chapter 50; Title 49, Chapter 7; Title 49, Chapter 8 and Title 49, Chapter 9.

HB 1036 requires Tennessee's education department to evaluate innovative school districts after their first full year of operation and provide recommendations to legislative education committees. The bill mandates these evaluations to assess effectiveness and may include suggestions for expanding such districts based on future state educational needs. It amends specific Tennessee Code sections related to education governance (Title 49, Chapters 4, 7, 8, 9, 14, and 50). This law directly affects public universities operating innovative school districts and state education committees responsible for policy decisions. (Note: The bill title description mentioning "private meetings" appears incorrect; the actual text focuses on school district evaluations.)
