HB 732 requires Tennessee's Department of Education to create or approve a policy allowing students to retake state-mandated TCAP tests (including end-of-course exams) if test administration is interrupted by an unavoidable event like a natural disaster or other circumstance beyond the school's control. This policy would directly affect students whose tests were disrupted and schools administering the assessments. The bill mandates that the department develop or approve a clear procedure for these retakes, replacing the current lack of formal guidance for such situations. The policy would apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
