Allows students affected by mass violence at their school to participate in virtual education programs without penalty.
The bill amends Tennessee law to allow students affected by an act of mass violence at their school to participate in virtual education programs without penalty. It defines "mass violence" as any act leading to serious bodily injury or death of two or more persons. Students can participate in remote instruction for at least 31 days after the act of mass violence, and they are eligible for counseling and mental health resources. Participation is voluntary and at the discretion of the student or their guardian.
