Education - As enacted, changes, from the department of education to the state board of education upon the recommendation of the department, the party responsible for selecting the intervention option for priority schools receiving tier three interventions through the progressive tiered intervention system. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1960 changes Tennessee's school accountability system by shifting responsibility for selecting interventions for struggling schools from the Department of Education to the State Board of Education. Specifically, it requires the Department to recommend intervention options to the State Board for priority schools in tier three of the progressive tiered intervention system, with the State Board making the final selection and notifying the school. This directly affects priority schools receiving tier three interventions, as the State Board - not the Department - will now choose the required intervention strategy. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49, Section 49-1-602(b)(2)(J), and takes effect July 1, 2027.
