House Bill 1840, sponsored by Haston, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to enhance accountability in career and technical education (CTE) within local education agencies (LEAs). The bill introduces a new requirement for each LEA to submit an annual report to the department by July 31, detailing the number of students who received information about CTE opportunities in the previous school year.

This legislative change aims to ensure that LEAs are actively promoting CTE options to students and provides a mechanism for tracking engagement in these educational pathways. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of CTE in preparing students for future careers.
