Local Education Agencies - As introduced, authorizes LEAs and public charter schools to refuse to enroll students who are unlawfully present in the United States. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 49.

SB 836 allows Tennessee public schools and charter schools to choose whether to enroll students who are in the U.S. without legal immigration status. The bill directly affects undocumented students seeking enrollment in public education. It amends state law to explicitly authorize schools to refuse enrollment based on immigration status, removing any existing requirement to enroll such students. This is a policy change that gives schools discretion regarding enrollment eligibility.
