HB 2482 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Local Education Agencies - As introduced, allows a nonprofit or for-profit entity that operates an adult high school under a contract with a local board of education to receive state and local funding in years subsequent to the first year of the adult high school's operation based on current enrollment numbers that are reported and adjusted no less than three times per year. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 2482 changes how funding is distributed to adult high schools operated by nonprofits or for-profits under contract with Tennessee school districts. It requires these providers to report current student enrollment numbers to school boards at least three times yearly (August, December, April), and mandates school boards to adjust funding payments based on these reports (in October, February, June). This replaces the previous system where funding for subsequent years was based solely on the prior year's enrollment without regular updates. The bill applies to contracts entered into, renewed, or amended on or after July 1, 2026, directly affecting contracted adult education providers and local school boards managing these programs.
