Amends TCA Title 49.
Tennessee HB2420 mandates that the commissioner must direct a local education agency to close a virtual school if it meets specified poor performance criteria, rather than leaving this decision to the agency's discretion. The bill affects nonprofit and for-profit providers by prohibiting them from contracting to operate or manage any new virtual school in the state for five years if one of their previously managed virtual schools is closed due to poor academic performance. Key provisions include the requirement for closure based on performance and the five-year ban on new contracts for underperforming providers.
