Complete·4/28/25

Tennessee HB0623 sets enrollment deadlines for voluntary pre-kindergarten classrooms in local education agencies.

Tennessee HB0623 amends the state's pre-kindergarten enrollment process by establishing two deadlines for voluntary pre-kindergarten classroom enrollment. The first deadline, set by the Department of Education, must occur before the start of the school year and applies to at-risk children. A second deadline, no later than August 30, applies to other eligible students if space remains after the initial deadline. This act takes effect immediately upon becoming law and applies from the 2025-2026 school year onward.
