Call for Public Comment (12/3/2024)

The Tennessee Department of Education is requesting a Tydings waiver for the period of FFY 2022 (2022-23 school year) 21st CCLC funds awarded under Section 4201 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, until September 30, 2025. This request to extend the obligation period is submitted pursuant under section 421(b) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). This permits the Tennessee in accordance with criteria it develops, to expend the remaining FY 2022 awarded balance related to this waiver request. Please email Extended.Learning@tn.gov with comments.

2024-25 Interscholastic Athletics Certification (11/7/2024)

Contact: LaQuisha.Oliver@tn.gov

Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-2-136, public schools and public charter schools are required to notify an association that regulates interscholastic athletics of an enrolled student’s placement in foster care if (a) the student expresses interest in participating in interscholastic athletics and (b) failure to notify the association of the student’s placement may result in the student being declared ineligible to participate in athletics for any period of time.  
 
Local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools are required to certify compliance with Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-2-136 to the department annually by January 1. Certification is required even if a public charter school or LEA is not affiliated with an interscholastic athletic association (e.g., Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association [TSSAA]). For certification purposes, inapplicable is equivalent to in compliance. The 2024-25 school year certification is due on January 1, 2025, and is captured via an automated ePlan form. Certification instructions for LEAs are here, and public charter school certification instructions are here.
