HB 2224 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Education, Dept. of - As enacted, requires the department to annually notify each local education agency (LEA) in writing of all state and federal grant programs available to assist the LEA in expanding mental health services and resources in schools. - Amends TCA Title 49.

This law requires the Tennessee Department of Education to send a written list of available state and federal grants to every local school district by October 15 each year. The notice must detail how these funds can help schools expand mental health services and explain the steps needed to apply for the money. The requirement specifically includes grants related to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. This change ensures that school districts are informed about financial resources they might use to support student mental health.
