Amends TCA Title 49.
Tennessee SB1249 amends the requirements for the Tennessee education savings account (ESA) pilot program and the individualized education account (IEA) program by establishing new testing protocols for participating students in grades K-11, including annual administration of specific assessments. It affects students enrolled in these programs, requiring schools to publish lesson plans, library materials, and academic standards on their websites, and ensuring that all educators hold valid teaching licenses issued by the state. The bill also aligns testing requirements for IEA participants with those set for ESA participants, while maintaining exemptions for students with disabilities who qualify for alternate assessments.
