Senate Bill 1027 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-1-907, regarding the submission of an early grades reading report by the Department of Education. The bill mandates that the department must submit this report by October 15 of each year, detailing the reading performance for the immediately preceding school year. This change replaces the first sentence of the existing law, ensuring that the report is delivered to both the education committee of the Senate and the relevant committee in the House of Representatives.
The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely reporting on early grades reading to enhance educational oversight and accountability in Tennessee.
