Education - As enacted, requires the department of education to establish enrollment deadlines for voluntary pre-kindergarten programs so that at-risk students who will be four years old by August 15 must be enrolled by the beginning of the school year and students who are four-year-olds who do not have a disability or who meet the qualifications for enrollment at three years of age must be enrolled by August 30. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 582 requires Tennessee's Department of Education to set two enrollment deadlines for state-funded pre-kindergarten programs. At-risk students turning four by August 15 must enroll by the start of the school year, while non-disabled four-year-olds or those eligible at age three must enroll by August 30. This applies to all school districts offering voluntary pre-K, ensuring consistent enrollment timelines for specific student groups. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond.
