Education, Dept. of - As introduced, changes from July 31 to July 1 the date by which an LEA director of schools must send a report to the department if the LEA did not contract for or employ at least one school nurse for every 750 students. - Amends TCA Title 49 and Title 68.

SB 2140 changes the deadline for Tennessee school districts to report if they lack sufficient school nurses. Specifically, it moves the reporting date from July 31 to July 1 each year for districts that haven't contracted for or employed at least one nurse per 750 students. The bill directly affects Local Education Agencies (LEAs) across Tennessee by requiring earlier notification to the state education department about nurse staffing shortfalls. This procedural change aims to improve timeliness in addressing school nurse coverage gaps.
