Education - As enacted, makes various revisions to education law, including, but not limited to, requiring each public school to annually submit to the department of education a list of all local assessments administered to students, requiring the department to publish the percentage of students who attain proficiency for the English language arts portion of the TCAP, and establishing the assessment review board to annually review the TCAP tests administered to students in the most recent school year. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 49.

HB 2277 requires all Tennessee public schools to annually report every local assessment they administer - including its purpose, subject, grade level, and schedule - to the state education department. This bill eliminates schools' ability to use non-state universal screeners (like reading assessments) and mandates they use only the state-provided Tennessee universal reading screener for K-3 students. The department must create an online database showing all local assessments by school, grade, and subject, making the data publicly accessible before each school year. It also establishes an assessment review board of nine classroom teachers to evaluate the state’s TCAP tests. The bill directly affects every public school and charter school in Tennessee.
