Education, Curriculum - As enacted, requires each director of schools for an LEA and each director of a public charter school to annually ensure that students in grades K-12 enrolled in the LEA or public charter school observe the Fourth of July during the school year by receiving age- and grade-appropriate instruction on the founding of the United States, the separation of the original 13 colonies from Great Britain, the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the fundamental rights and freedoms enjoyed by American citizens. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 1; Title 49, Chapter 2; Title 49, Chapter 50 and Title 49, Chapter 6.

SB 1960 requires Tennessee public schools and charter schools to designate one instructional day each school year for K-12 students to learn about the U.S. founding. It mandates age-appropriate lessons on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, American independence, and core freedoms, with specific grade-level objectives (e.g., identifying symbols for K-5, analyzing founding documents for grades 9-12). Schools must ensure the instruction is nonpartisan, aligned with state academic standards, and focused solely on historical facts and civic principles. The law applies starting the 2026-2027 school year and affects all local education agencies and public charter schools in Tennessee.
