Bill Summary
As enacted, authorizes a local education agency to implement the law enforcement against drugs and violence (L.E.A.D.) program in schools operated by the LEA; authorizes an LEA's implementation of the L.E.A.D. program to be in lieu of the DARE program. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17 and Title 49, Chapter 1.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Tennessee education law to allow local education agencies (LEAs) to implement the Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence (L.E.A.D.) program in their schools as an alternative to the existing Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program. The new legislation gives school districts the flexibility to choose between these two drug prevention and education programs, with the L.E.A.D. program now explicitly permitted as a substitute for DARE. By adding this provision to Title 49, Chapter 1 of the Tennessee Code, the bill provides schools with more options for addressing drug and violence prevention education. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state legislature's determination that this change serves the public welfare.
