HB 1934 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Schools, Charter - As enacted, requires the department of education to annually collect and report certain data for opportunity public charter schools on the department's website; requires a director of schools, juvenile court judge, or department of children's services caseworker who has knowledge that a student is an at-risk student and is eligible to attend an opportunity public charter school to provide the student and the student's parent or legal guardian with information regarding the student's eligibility to enroll in an opportunity public charter school and the location of any opportunity public charter schools that are located in or adjacent to the student's county of residence. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1934 requires the Tennessee public charter school commission to notify the chairs of the education committees in both the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives when a new opportunity public charter school opens in the state, including the school's specific location. This notification must occur at the time the school opens. The bill adds this reporting requirement to existing law without changing charter school rules or operations. It directly affects the commission (which must send the notice) and the legislative education committees (which receive the information).
