SB 2669 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Teachers, Principals and School Personnel - As enacted, revises law relative to leave for teachers. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 2669 increases the personal and professional leave accumulation rate for Tennessee teachers, principals, and school personnel from one day per half-year to two days per half-year. It directly affects all public school staff covered under Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49, Section 49-5-711(a). The bill amends the leave calculation method in state law, requiring local school boards to allow two days of leave for each half-year of employment (previously one day). The change will take effect July 1, 2026, and also updates Section 49-5-205(a) to align with the new four-day annual leave standard.
