2021 Tennessee Code|Title 49 - Education|Chapter 6 - Elementary and Secondary Education|Part 30 - Attendance|§ 49-6-3024. Review of Laws and Policies Related to Exclusionary Discipline of Students in Pre-Kindergarten Through Kindergarten

  The department of education, in consultation with juvenile court officials, shall review all current laws and policies related to exclusionary discipline practices in public schools for students in pre-kindergarten through kindergarten (pre-K-K). For purposes of this section, “exclusionary discipline” means any type of school disciplinary action that removes or excludes a student from the student's traditional educational setting.   The review shall:  Examine the number of exclusionary discipline actions issued by an LEA and the length of each respective disciplinary action;   Detail the type of offenses committed by the students that led to the exclusionary discipline action;   Review the impact exclusionary discipline has on students;   Examine recommendations from lawmakers, juvenile court officials, judges, district attorneys, the Tennessee commission on children and youth, and representatives from LEAs on alternatives to exclusionary discipline;   Identify free resources to support teachers and parents in addressing children's social, emotional, and behavioral health, strengthening family relationships, and increasing developmental and behavioral screening; and   Research the possibility of:  Eliminating exclusionary discipline for non-violent offenses; and   Encouraging schools to adopt restorative justice discipline practices.       The department shall develop guidelines and standards for alternatives to exclusionary discipline practices based on the findings of the review required under subsection (b).   The department shall present its findings and a written report to the education committee of the senate, the education administration and planning committee of the house of representatives, and the education instruction and programs committee of the house of representatives no later than May 1, 2018.   After submission of the report required in subsection (d), the department shall develop a model policy for alternatives to exclusionary discipline practices that districts may adopt for students in pre-kindergarten through kindergarten (pre-K-K). If a district does not adopt the model policy developed by the department, the district shall develop and implement a policy that meets the guidelines and standards developed under subsection (c). Each LEA shall adopt the model policy or develop their own policy prior to the 2018-2019 school year.

  Local boards of education may admit pupils from outside their respective local school systems. Local boards of education may also arrange for the transfer of pupils residing within their systems to schools located outside their districts, and enter into agreements with other local boards of education for the admission or transfer of pupils from one (1) school system to another.   State school funds shall follow the student into the school system to which the student is transferring under this section.   Tuition may be charged by a local school system to which a student transfers as provided in § 49-6-3003.   Subject to the restrictions in § 49-6-3105, an adult pupil or the parent or guardian of a minor pupil may transfer the pupil to a school system outside the one serving the pupil's place of residence at the discretion of the receiving board of education.   Each local board of education may permit adult students or the parents or guardian of a minor student to choose the school the student is to attend. If the choice is for a school other than the one to which the student is normally zoned, the student may be required to provide personal transportation.   Transfers authorized by this section shall be exercised within the limitations of any existing court order or plan developed to comply with the state or federal constitution.    Notwithstanding subsection (c), in cases where an LEA has created a regional school with a specific focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), local basic education program (BEP) school funds shall also follow the student into the LEA to which the student is transferring and no tuition may be charged by the receiving LEA.   Using a per pupil average, to the extent the total state and local BEP funds associated with an impacted student are less than the amount of the total state and local BEP funds provided for a student in the receiving LEA, the department of education shall withhold from the sending LEA's state BEP payments an amount equal to the difference and include such funds in the receiving LEA's state BEP payments. In no event shall the total state and local BEP funds associated with an impacted student exceed the amount of total state and local BEP funds provided for a student in the receiving LEA.   Nothing in this subsection (g) shall preclude an LEA from entering into an agreement with another LEA whereby additional funds may be transferred from the sending LEA to the receiving LEA for the purpose of educating the child.   As used in this subsection (g), “student” means a student who was attending a school in the sending LEA or had moved into the sending LEA immediately prior to the transfer to the receiving LEA's regional STEM school.
