Complete·4/29/25

Tennessee HB0006 amends early childhood education regulations to allow LEAs to charge tuition and modify enrollment criteria for voluntary.

Tennessee HB0006 modifies early childhood education regulations by allowing Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to charge parents tuition and fees for voluntary pre-kindergarten programs, up to the LEA's costs. It also revises enrollment criteria, permitting LEAs to enroll non-at-risk children if the number of at-risk children does not meet the maximum class size. Eligible non-at-risk children include those who reside within the LEA's area and meet certain age and risk criteria, or those who reside outside the area but whose parents are LEA employees.
