HB 709 requires local school boards in Tennessee to notify the state education department when they designate their district as "high performing." The department must then maintain a public list of these districts on its website. This bill directly affects local school boards and the state education department by creating a new reporting requirement and transparency mechanism. The key provision is the mandatory notification and online listing, which aims to provide clear public information about high-performing districts. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49, Section 49-2-703.
