Bill > HB7004

This bill enacts the "Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act," which requires local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools to implement a program of after-school learning mini-camps, learning loss bridge camps, and summer learning camps to remediate student learning loss. The bill defines key terms like "learning loss," "priority students," and "stipends" for teachers, tutors, and staff. It outlines the requirements and funding for these educational programs, as well as the creation of the Tennessee Accelerating Literacy and Learning Corps to provide tutoring services. The bill also amends existing law to require third-grade students to demonstrate proficiency in English Language Arts before being promoted to fourth grade, with some exceptions. Overall, the bill aims to address and remediate student learning loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
