House Bill 1036 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to education, specifically focusing on the evaluation of innovative school districts. The bill introduces a new requirement for the Department of Education to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative school district after its first full year of operation. This evaluation will culminate in recommendations to the education committees of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, which may include suggestions for additional public universities to operate innovative school districts based on future educational needs.

The bill designates the existing language in Section 49-8-1508 as subsection (a) and adds a new subsection (b) to outline this evaluation process. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of assessing innovative educational approaches to meet the evolving needs of the state's education system.
