AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's education code by establishing a new requirement for the state textbook commission to develop a plan for reviewing electronic textbooks and instructional materials used by virtual schools. The commission will work in consultation with the Department of Education to create a review process for these digital learning resources, with the goal of ensuring they meet state educational standards. The bill requires the commission to either submit recommendations for necessary legislation to the General Assembly by January 1, 2027, or implement the review plan directly by that date if no additional legislation is needed. This change appears to be aimed at improving oversight and quality control of curriculum materials used in virtual school settings, removing previous provisions that allowed the state board of education to waive curriculum standards. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state's interest in enhancing virtual school educational resources.
