Tennessee HB0090 amends school grading criteria to include career readiness assessments alongside postsecondary readiness assessments.

Tennessee HB0090 modifies the Tennessee Code to change how schools are graded based on student performance. It requires the Department of Education to consider career readiness assessments, in addition to postsecondary readiness assessments like the ACT or SAT, when evaluating student achievement. If a student takes both types of assessments, the department must use the higher score for grading purposes. This change takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies to school grades starting in the 2025-2026 school year.
