Education - As enacted, requires the state board of education to establish a qualified dyslexia interventionist endorsement to allow an educator to provide targeted instructional intervention, academic support, behavioral support, or related services to students demonstrating characteristics of dyslexia. - Amends TCA Title 49.
HB 2257 changes the deadline for Tennessee's Department of Education to update a list of state laws about student and parent rights. It replaces the previous requirement (updating within 60 days after the legislature adjourns) with a fixed annual deadline of July 1. This procedural change affects only the Department of Education, requiring them to publish the updated list by July 1 each year instead of after each legislative session. The bill does not alter the content of the rights list or create new policies.
