AI Summary
This bill requires school principals or their designees in Tennessee to notify parents or legal guardians of students who are evacuated from a classroom due to another student's violent, aggressive, or severely disruptive behavior by the end of the school day the evacuation occurs. A "classroom evacuation" is defined as removing students from a classroom because another student's behavior creates a safety concern or significantly disrupts learning. The notification must state that an evacuation happened, briefly describe the general reason for it, and outline the safety measures taken for the evacuated students, but it must not reveal information about the student who caused the incident or other students if it violates privacy laws like FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). Schools will need to keep records of these evacuations and notifications, and local school boards will establish policies to implement these requirements, with the law taking effect on July 1, 2026.
