AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Education to annually publish a list on its website of Local Education Agencies (LEAs) - which are essentially school districts - that have been designated as high-performing districts. By July 31st each year, starting in 2025, the department must specify which districts have earned this high-performing status and indicate the duration of their designation before they will need to re-qualify. The bill amends Tennessee Code Title 49, which covers education, and will take effect immediately upon becoming law. The purpose appears to be increasing transparency about school district performance by creating a public, annual listing of top-performing districts, which could provide information for parents, educators, and policymakers about educational quality across the state.
