HB 1065 requires Tennessee school districts and public charter schools to include specific parent notification procedures in their district-wide and building-level school safety plans. The bill mandates that these plans detail how schools must notify parents/guardians about emergencies, incidents of violence, and credible threats of violence occurring on school grounds - regardless of whether their child was directly involved. Key provisions require schools to specify communication methods and timelines for notifications (aiming for early disclosure without hindering investigations) and ensure all disclosures comply with privacy laws like FERPA. The bill directly affects all local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools in Tennessee, requiring updates to their safety plans by January 1, 2026.
