Bill > SB2047

This bill, effective July 1, 2027, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, concerning accountability in education by shifting the responsibility for selecting intervention options for "priority schools" that are assigned to "tier three" of the "progressive tiered intervention system" from the Department of Education to the State Board of Education. A "priority school" is a school identified as needing significant improvement, and the "progressive tiered intervention system" is a framework for providing support and interventions to struggling schools, with "tier three" representing the most intensive level of intervention. Under this bill, the Department of Education will now recommend an intervention option to the State Board of Education, which will then make the final selection and notify the school, requiring the school to implement the chosen intervention.
