SB 400 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education, Dept. of - As enacted, requires the department to develop guidance for Tennessee accelerating literacy and learning corps (TALLC) members on how to align tutoring services for students with the remediation the student needs and with the academic standards adopted by the state board of education for the student's grade level; requires the department to provide LEAs with a list of secure data management systems that utilize platforms capable of tracking the effectiveness of intervention methods, resource allocation, and student progress in real time across all schools in the LEA; makes other related changes. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 400 changes the deadline by which local education agencies (LEAs) operating public charter schools must publish specific building information on their websites. Instead of posting details like building location, square footage, enrollment capacity, and usage by May 1, LEAs will now have until May 15 each year. This bill directly affects public school districts and charter schools in Tennessee that fall under these reporting requirements. The change only adjusts the annual deadline; it does not alter the required information or add new reporting obligations.
