House Bill 1934, also known as Senate Bill 1931, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-13-133, to enhance the reporting and support for opportunity public charter schools. The bill introduces new requirements for the Department of Education to annually collect and report specific data on these schools, including graduation rates over five and six years, credit attainment for students in grades nine through twelve, and metrics related to college and career readiness. This data must be disaggregated by student subgroups such as race, ethnicity, gender, disability status, and socioeconomic status, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of student performance across different demographics.

Additionally, the bill mandates that if a director of schools, juvenile court judge, or caseworker from the Department of Children's Services identifies an at-risk student eligible for an opportunity public charter school, they must inform the student and their guardians about their eligibility and the nearby charter school options. This provision aims to facilitate access to educational opportunities for at-risk students, thereby promoting equity in education. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
