Education - As enacted, revises the assessment testing requirements for students who participate in the education savings account (ESA) program. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 9; Title 12; Title 48; Title 49 and Title 67.
HB 1881 removes outdated reporting requirements from Tennessee education laws. It deletes obsolete references in multiple code sections (Titles 4, 9, 12, 48, 49, and 67) that previously required the Department of Education to report on literacy practices, standards, and requirements. This bill directly affects the Department of Education by eliminating an administrative burden that no longer serves a purpose, without changing any actual education policies or standards.
