SB 928 - HB 1001
SUMMARY OF BILL: Requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to authorize a student
who is working toward completing a career and technical education elective focus to substitute up to
four career and technical education course credits for the required chemistry course credit, computer
science course credit, world language course credit, and Algebra II course credit necessary to earn a
full diploma upon graduation from high school.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-6-6001(a), a student must meet the requirements as set
forth by the SBE in order to receive a full diploma upon graduation from high school.
• The SBE will be able to authorize an eligible student to substitute up to four career and
technical education course credits as proposed in the legislation within existing resources
such that any fiscal impact is estimated to be not significant.
• Schools will be able to comply with proposed changes and update graduation requirements
within existing resources and during the normal course of business.
• No impact to state or local government.
