Amends Chapter __ of the Public Acts of 2025 (1st Ex. Sess. – SB 6001 / HB 6004); and TCA Title 4, Chapter 49; Title 8 and Title 49.
Tennessee SB0602 amends existing laws regarding teacher evaluations and compensation for deceased teachers' accrued leave. It establishes guidelines for determining the duration a student must be present in a teacher's classroom for their performance to be attributed to that teacher, specifying 150 days of instruction (or 75 days on a block schedule). Additionally, the bill allows local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools to compensate the estates of teachers for unused annual and sick leave upon the teacher's death, aligning this provision with existing state employee compensation laws.
