Education - As introduced, deletes obsolete pilot program to improve parent-teacher engagement that terminated at the end of the 2020-2021 school year. - Amends TCA Title 49.
SB 975 deletes an outdated section (TCA 49-6-308) from Tennessee's education code that referenced a discontinued parent-teacher engagement pilot program. The program, which ended after the 2020-2021 school year, is no longer active, so this bill removes the obsolete reference from state law. The change has no direct impact on schools, parents, or students, as the program was already terminated. It serves only as a procedural cleanup of the state code, with no new requirements or funding added. The bill requires no action from school districts or families.
