Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 10 and Title 49, Chapter 6.
Tennessee HB0861 amends Title 49, Chapter 10 and Title 49, Chapter 6 of the Tennessee Code Annotated to establish requirements for local education agencies (LEAs) regarding the notification and provision of information to parents or guardians of students with individualized education programs (IEPs). The bill mandates that LEAs notify parents at least 10 days before an IEP team meeting and provide them with relevant evaluations and assessments at least 48 hours prior to the meeting, unless otherwise agreed upon. Key changes include clarifying that references to an "IEP meeting" pertain specifically to IEP team meetings and revising the information that must be provided to parents.
