AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 1 and Title 49, Chapter 6, relative to student retention.
As introduced, requires an LEA or public charter school to adopt and implement a retention policy for third grade students who are not proficient in English language arts (ELA), rather than requiring the LEA to retain a third grade student who does not achieve a certain performance level rating on the ELA portion of the student's most recent Tennessee comprehensive assessment program test; establishes parental notice requirements for LEAs and public charter schools that recommend a third grade student for retention; removes the authority of the state board of education to establish an appeal process for certain students identified for retention. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 1 and Title 49, Chapter 6.
Selected quotes
A student's parent or legal guardian, or the student if the student is at least eighteen (18) years of age, must provide a written, informed, and voluntarily signed consent to the student's LEA or public charter school for the student to receive instruction of a sexual orientation curriculum or gender identity curriculum. A student's parent or legal guardian, or the student if the student is at least eighteen (18) years of age, may withdraw the parent's, legal guardian's, or student's consent at any time before the student receives instruction of a sexual orientation curriculum or gender identity curriculum.
(b)(1) A school shall not allow a minor student to become a member of a club or organization, or allow a minor student to participate in any activity of a club or organization, unless the student's parent or legal guardian first provides consent to the student's membership or participation in a dated, written consent.
