SB 1024 requires Tennessee's education department to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative school districts after their first full school year and report findings to the state legislature's education committees. The evaluation must assess program success and may recommend expanding innovative school districts, including encouraging public universities to operate more of them based on future educational needs. This bill applies to all existing and future innovative school districts established under Tennessee law and mandates a formal review process for these programs. It does not change current district operations but adds a state-level assessment requirement to inform future policy decisions.
