Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's education funding law, specifically the Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement (TISA) formula, to broaden the definition of "economically disadvantaged" students. Previously, this category included homeless, foster, runaway, or migrant students, those eligible for free or reduced-price school meals, and those identified through direct certification. The bill adds students enrolled in the state's Medicaid program to this definition, meaning these students will now generate additional weighted funding through the TISA formula, which is designed to provide more resources to schools serving students with greater needs. This change is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to school funding allocations starting with the 2026-2027 school year.
