Complete·4/29/25

Tennessee SB0753 amends early childhood education enrollment criteria for voluntary pre-kindergarten programs.

Tennessee SB0753 modifies the criteria for voluntary pre-kindergarten programs, allowing local educational agencies (LEA) to enroll non-at-risk children if the class size is not full. Eligible non-at-risk children include those who reside within the LEA's area and meet certain age and income criteria, or those who reside outside the area but whose parent is employed by the LEA. LEAs may charge tuition and fees up to the program's costs for these additional children. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
