Schools, Charter - As enacted, authorizes the establishment of adult public charter schools, which are defined as public charter schools that exclusively serve students who are 18 or older by providing instruction to such students in accordance with the rules for adult high schools promulgated by the state board of education to assist such students in obtaining course credit leading to the attainment of a high school diploma. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 49.
HB 1759 changes a state law requiring the Tennessee Department of Education to publish a directory of apprenticeship program contacts for each public high school. The bill delays the publication deadline from September 1 to December 1 each year. This affects the Department of Education's administrative schedule and public high schools, which must provide contact information for their apprenticeship programs. The amendment updates Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-6-419(c), to reflect this date change.
