HB 1199 requires Tennessee school districts operating at least one high school to adopt a policy allowing a junior or senior student to serve as a nonvoting representative on the school board. The bill mandates that students attend all public board meetings (excluding confidential sessions), serve at least one school year, and meet district-established eligibility criteria. School boards must create a fair selection process ensuring all high schools within the district have equal opportunity for student representation. Students may serve up to two consecutive years (junior and senior years) but may be removed for missing more than two meetings. The policy must be implemented for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond.
