Tennessee SB1817 amends school enrollment rules for dependent children of service members.
Tennessee SB1817 modifies the enrollment process for dependent children of service members in public schools. It requires students or their parents to submit documentation within 60 days of enrollment or one year from the service member's duty start date, whichever is later. If a student relocates due to military orders, they can remain in their current high school until graduation or withdrawal. The law also mandates that school districts ensure necessary services are in place for students with specific plans. This act takes effect July 1, 2026.
