HB 1258 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education - As introduced, requires local boards of education to notify the department of education when a board declares itself to be a high performing school district; requires the department to maintain a list of high performing school districts on the department's website. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1258 requires Tennessee school districts to notify the state education department when they self-identify as "high performing" under existing law. The department must then publish a public list of these districts on its website. This affects local school boards (which must report their self-declared status) and the state education agency (which must maintain and share the list). The bill creates a new administrative reporting requirement but does not define "high performing" or alter performance standards.
