Senate Bill 2047, also known as House Bill 1960, 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. Following this recommendation, the state board of education is tasked with notifying the priority school of the selected intervention option, which the school must then 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 state board's decisions. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2027, emphasizing the importance of timely implementation for the welfare of the public education system in Tennessee.
