Complete·4/28/26

Tennessee HB1747 mandates public high schools to offer civic engagement field days for students in U.S. government and civics courses.

Tennessee HB1747 amends the state's education code to require each public high school to provide students enrolled in a U.S. government and civics course with three civic engagement field days. Each field day corresponds to one of the three branches of government. The field days must include structured learning activities aligned with state academic standards. For the legislative branch, students visit a city council, county commission, or the general assembly. For the judicial branch, students visit a courthouse to observe judicial proceedings or meet with judges.
