General Assembly, Confirmation of Appointment - Terence Patterson, Public Charter School Commission -

SJR 88 is a procedural resolution confirming Governor Bill Lee's appointment of Terence Patterson to the Public Charter School Commission. It does not create new policy but formally ratifies the governor's selection of Patterson as a West Tennessee representative on the nine-member commission, per Tennessee law (TCA § 49-13-105). The resolution was passed by both legislative chambers and signed by the governor in March 2025, completing the required confirmation process for this state board appointment. This resolution directly affects the composition of the Public Charter School Commission but has no impact on charter school operations or legislation.
