Senate Bill 583 aims to enhance after school programs in Tennessee by establishing a grant system for local education agencies (LEAs) that meet specific criteria related to juvenile offense rates. The bill defines key terms such as "county juvenile offense rate," "eligible LEA," and "eligible nonprofit organization," and stipulates that eligible LEAs must apply for grants to provide after school programs for students in grades K-12. The grants will be awarded based on the county's juvenile offense rate being at least 10% higher than the statewide rate, and the funds can be used to expand existing programs, create new ones, or partner with nonprofit organizations.

The bill also mandates that each eligible LEA receiving a grant must submit an annual report detailing the number of schools and students served, as well as the successes and challenges of the programs. The Department of Education is responsible for administering the grants, and the bill specifies that it will take effect on July 1, 2025, for grant-related purposes, while other provisions will take effect upon becoming law.
