Education - As enacted, allows student performance on the Classic Learning Test to be used alongside the ACT and SAT for various purposes; makes various changes to home school testing requirements and opportunities available to home school students. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 2636 allows homeschooling families in Tennessee to use the Classic Learning Test (CLT) alongside the ACT and SAT for standardized testing requirements. It requires homeschool students in grades 5, 7, and 9 to take either a nationally normed test (like the CLT) supervised by an unrelated proctor or public school-approved tests, with results shared with parents, school directors, and the state board. If students don’t meet proficiency thresholds, parents must consult school officials and may need to design remedial coursework or retake tests. The bill also requires public schools to list opportunities for homeschool students to take college-prep courses and exams like the CLT on their websites.
