Amends TCA Title 49.

The Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act required LEAs and participating public charter schools to conduct summer learning camps and after-school learning mini-camps in the summers immediately following the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. This bill makes such requirement permanent. Present law requires the department of education to provide training, technical assistance, and guidance to LEAs and participating public charter schools conducting after-school learning mini-camps, learning loss bridge camps, and summer learning camps. This bill adds that the department also provide instructional materials and strategies. This bill adds requirements that the department of education ensure that: (1) The instruction provided to students through the learning loss remediation and student acceleration program is aligned to state academic standards; and (2) Licensed teachers provide instruction to students through the learning loss remediation and student acceleration program. This bill adds a requirement that each LEA and public charter school that provides instruction to students through the learning loss remediation and student acceleration program shall ensure that the instruction is aligned to state academic standards. Present law requires the department of education to provide the annual Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act progress report to the governor, the speaker of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the chairs of the education committees of the senate and house of representatives.
