Local Education Agencies - As introduced, requires the department of education, by July 31 each year, to list on its website each LEA designated as a high performing school district for the upcoming school year and how long the LEA will be designated a high performing school district before having to meet the criteria for re-designation. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1275 requires Tennessee's Department of Education to publish annually, by July 31, a list on its website of all school districts designated as "high performing" for the upcoming school year. The list must include how long each district will remain designated as high performing before needing to requalify under the established criteria. This bill directly affects school districts designated as high performing and the Department of Education, which must implement this transparency measure. The requirement begins for the 2025-2026 school year, with annual updates thereafter. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49 to mandate this public disclosure.
