Teachers, Principals and School Personnel - As introduced, authorizes a local board of education and public charter school governing body to employ or accept as a volunteer a school chaplain to provide support, services, and programs for students, school staff, and students' parents. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1250 allows Tennessee public school districts and charter schools to hire or accept as volunteers school chaplains to provide support services for students, staff, and parents. The bill requires chaplains to undergo criminal background checks but does not mandate state certification. It grants legal immunity to chaplains acting within the law, except for malicious or intentional harm. The bill directly affects schools, chaplains, and school communities by creating a formal framework for religious support services in schools. The definition of "school chaplain" specifies a clergy member credentialed by a religious organization to support religious freedom in diverse school settings.
