SB 2375 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education - As enacted, revises law concerning math education; requires the state board of education, in developing and adopting a uniform grading system for students in grades 9-12, to include in such system the high school course grades achieved by students in eighth grade; specifies that the uniform grading system for students in grades K-8 must include K-8 course work. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 2375 requires Tennessee's Department of Education to submit an annual report to the Senate and House education committees about implementing the state's academic acceleration policy, rather than providing reports only when requested. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49 to establish this regular reporting requirement. It directly affects the Department of Education (which must prepare the report) and the education committees (which will receive it annually). This change streamlines oversight of academic acceleration programs by making reporting mandatory and predictable.
