Amends TCA Title 49.
Tennessee SB2441 requires the commissioner of education to mandate the closure of a virtual school if it meets specific performance criteria, rather than allowing for discretionary closure. The bill affects local education agencies and virtual school providers, imposing a five-year prohibition on contracting for new virtual schools by any provider whose existing virtual school has been closed due to poor academic performance. Key provisions include the shift from authorization to requirement for school closure and the establishment of penalties for providers based on performance outcomes.
