Local Education Agencies - As introduced, requires each LEA to submit a report to the department of education by July 31 each year that includes, for the immediately preceding school year, the number of students the LEA provided with information on the career and technical education opportunities offered by the LEA after the students were administered a career aptitude assessment in grade seven or eight. - Amends TCA Title 49.
HB 1840 requires Tennessee school districts to annually report to the state education department the number of students in grades seven or eight who received information about career and technical education (CTE) opportunities after taking a career aptitude assessment. The report, due by July 31 each year, must cover the previous school year and track how many students were provided with CTE details following the assessment. This bill does not change existing CTE programs but adds a reporting requirement for school districts to document student outreach. The policy applies to all Tennessee local education agencies (LEAs) and aims to measure how schools connect students with CTE resources after career assessments.
