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.
SB 2068 requires Tennessee school districts (LEAs) to annually report by July 31 how many 7th and 8th graders received information about career and technical education (CTE) opportunities after taking a career aptitude assessment. The report must detail students who were provided this information following their grade 7 or 8 assessment during the prior school year. This affects all local school districts in Tennessee by adding a new data collection requirement focused on early career exposure for middle school students. The bill does not change CTE program offerings but mandates tracking student access to these resources.
