Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 1 and Title 49, Chapter 6.
Tennessee HB1995 amends existing education laws to authorize, rather than require, local education agencies and public charter schools to retain third-grade students who do not demonstrate a basic understanding of reading or English language arts. This bill affects third-grade students in public schools and charter schools across Tennessee. The key change is the shift from a mandatory retention policy to a discretionary one, allowing schools more flexibility in making retention decisions.
