HB1162Enacted

Amends TCA Title 49.

Tennessee HB1162 allows public charter schools to operate outside the geographic boundaries of the local education agency (LEA) that authorized them, provided they need additional space and enter into a written lease agreement for educational purposes within the same county. This bill affects public charter schools and LEAs, specifically enabling charter schools authorized by county LEAs to utilize facilities in municipal LEAs without the need for a written agreement typically required for such operations. Key provisions include the stipulation that out-of-district enrollment will continue to be governed by the charter school's agreement and that certain reporting requirements for LEAs only apply when charter schools operate under specific agreements.
