Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 1 and Title 49, Chapter 6.

Present law requires LEAs to participate in the learning loss remediation and student acceleration program by undertaking various efforts, one of which is implementing and conducting learning loss bridge camps for students, including students enrolled in a public charter school located within the geographic boundaries of the LEA, annually beginning in the summer of 2021. This bill authorizes directors of schools to apply to the commissioner of education for a waiver of such program, if the LEA provided more than 180 days of classroom instruction to students in the previous school year for each school of the LEA. An LEA that is granted a waiver pursuant to this bill will be required to use the funds allocated to the LEA for learning loss bridge camps to pay the costs associated with providing students additional days of classroom instruction in excess of 180 days of classroom instruction.
