Education, Curriculum - As enacted, requires the state textbook and instructional materials quality commission, in consultation with the department of education, to develop a plan for the commission to review and submit to the state board of education for approval of electronic textbooks and instructional materials for use by virtual schools established by LEAs. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 416 requires virtual schools operated by local education agencies (LEAs) to use curricula and instructional materials that meet or exceed Tennessee’s state academic standards, with no exceptions for waivers. It establishes a process where the state textbook commission must review public complaints about non-compliant materials within 60 days and issue written findings to the schools. If materials fail to meet standards, the school must immediately switch to approved alternatives. This law directly affects virtual schools and the textbook commission, ensuring accountability through resident feedback and timely evaluations.
