Teachers, Principals and School Personnel - As enacted, authorizes the issuance of temporary teaching permits to teach physical education classes in elementary schools. - Amends TCA Title 49.

This Tennessee law allows schools to issue temporary teaching permits for individuals to lead physical education classes in elementary schools. Previously, the state code required these classes to be taught only by licensed teachers with a specific physical education endorsement or by a physical education specialist. By removing certain restrictions in the education code, the bill expands the pool of eligible instructors who can fulfill this requirement during the 2024-2025 school year and beyond. The change aims to provide more flexibility in staffing elementary physical education programs while maintaining the requirement that instructors be properly authorized.
