House Bill 1960, also known as Senate Bill 2047, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-1-602(b)(2)(J), regarding accountability measures for priority schools. The bill deletes the existing language in this subdivision and replaces it with new provisions that require the department to recommend an intervention option for priority schools that are assigned to tier three of the progressive tiered intervention system. Furthermore, it mandates that the state board of education notify the priority school of the selected intervention option, which the school is then required to implement.

The changes aim to clarify the process by which intervention options are determined and communicated to priority schools, ensuring that these institutions are aware of and can act on the interventions prescribed by the state board. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2027, emphasizing the importance of these accountability measures for the welfare of the public education system in Tennessee.
