AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law regarding public meetings for educational bodies. Specifically, it modifies the rules for when board meetings can be conducted with electronic participation, allowing for such participation even if a quorum of members is not physically present, provided it's due to inclement weather or a natural disaster, and limits this exception to three times per year. It also clarifies that members of a public charter school's governing body who do not live in Tennessee can participate in all scheduled board meetings electronically. The bill also requires public charter schools to keep their websites updated with information about public meetings.
