Senate Bill 928 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to modify high school graduation requirements. Specifically, it designates the existing subsection in Section 49-6-6001(a) as subdivision (a)(1) and introduces a new subdivision (a)(2). This new provision allows the state board of education to authorize students pursuing a career and technical education elective focus to substitute up to four career and technical education course credits for required credits in chemistry, computer science, world language, and Algebra II, which are necessary for earning a full high school diploma.

The bill aims to provide greater flexibility for students interested in career and technical education by allowing them to meet graduation requirements through relevant coursework. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that students can benefit from this adjustment in their educational pathways.
