Education - As introduced, enacts the "Early Behavioral Intervention and Reporting Act"; clarifies that public charter schools are required to have a threat assessment team in the same manner as required of local education agencies. - Amends TCA Title 16; Title 37 and Title 49.

HB 522, the "Early Behavioral Intervention and Reporting Act," requires all Tennessee public schools - including public charter schools - to implement a computer system for teachers to report early warning signs of student behavioral, safety, or health concerns (such as bullying, threats, or mental health issues). The system must automatically alert school threat assessment teams when such signs are reported and maintain data compliant with privacy laws like FERPA. Schools must also submit annual reports to the state education department detailing collected data and interventions. This bill directly affects every public school in Tennessee by mandating standardized reporting and threat assessment protocols previously only required for traditional school districts.
