AI Summary
This bill requires school principals or their designees in Tennessee to notify parents or legal guardians by the end of the school day if their child was evacuated from a classroom due to the violent, aggressive, or severely disruptive behavior of another student, with "classroom evacuation" defined as removing students because of such behavior that poses a safety concern or significantly disrupts learning. The notification must state that an evacuation happened, briefly describe the general reason without revealing private student information that would violate privacy laws like FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), and mention safety measures taken. Schools must 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.
