House Bill 1088 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, by introducing a new requirement for local education agencies (LEAs) regarding parental notification of safety concerns in public schools. The bill mandates that if an LEA receives credible information about a threat of violence or significantly disruptive behavior, and subsequently reports this information to law enforcement, it must also notify the parents and guardians of students enrolled in the affected school. This notification must occur within twenty-four hours of the report to law enforcement and can utilize existing communication methods.

The legislation aims to enhance the safety and awareness of parents and guardians concerning potential threats in public schools. By ensuring timely communication about safety concerns, the bill seeks to foster a more informed and responsive school community. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
