SB 2661 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Schools, Charter - As introduced, changes from December 11 to December 15, the date by which the state board of education is required to post the information received from each local education agency regarding the total amount of authorizer fees collected by the LEA in the previous school year and the authorizing obligations fulfilled using the authorizer fees collected on its website. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 13.

SB 2661 amends Tennessee's charter school law by changing the deadline for the state board of education to post local education agencies' (LEAs) annual authorizer fee reports from December 11 to December 15 each year. This bill directly affects LEAs that collect fees from charter schools and the state board, requiring them to report total fees collected and how they were used. The key change is solely a procedural adjustment to the posting deadline, with no other policy modifications to fee collection or reporting requirements. The bill focuses on streamlining administrative timing for transparency, without altering substantive charter school funding rules.
