HB2420

Tennessee HB2420 amends virtual school regulations, including closure criteria and provider restrictions.

Tennessee HB2420 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to revise regulations for virtual schools. The bill sets criteria for closing virtual schools, including those identified as priority schools or demonstrating low student achievement for three consecutive years. If a virtual school is closed, the provider cannot operate another virtual school in the state for five years. The bill also mandates that providers cannot withhold student records and requires notification to parents and guardians upon closure. The changes take effect July 1, 2026.
