Senate Bill 273, also known as House Bill 369, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-14-136, specifically regarding the handling of student grades by school employees. The bill introduces a new provision that allows school employees to alter, create, or duplicate a student's grade in educational documents if the change is a result of the student participating in a program that permits them to retake a failed course, exam, or assignment to earn credit. This new language is designated as subsection (b), while the existing subsection (b) is reclassified as subsection (c).

The bill aims to clarify the legal standing of school employees when it comes to modifying student grades under specific circumstances, thereby supporting educational programs that provide students with opportunities to improve their academic performance. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation.
