Tennessee House of Representatives bill in Session 114.
Status: enacted. Latest action: May 5, 2026.
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, relative to parental notification of classroom evacuations.
ON MARCH 30, 2026, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #2 AND PASSED SENATE BILL 2087, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #2 r eplaces this bill's requirement that the principal or the principal's designee notify the parent or legal guardian of each student who was removed from the classroom as part of a classroom evacuation no later than the end of the school day in which the cl assroom evacuation occurred. This amendment instead requires that the principal or the principal's designee provide notification to the parent or legal guardian of each student who was in the classroom or instructional area at the time that the classroom evacuation occurred by the end of the day in which the classroom evacuation occurred unless the event that p rompted the classroom evacuation is an ongoing emergency or is otherwise under investigation by a state or local law enforcement agency, in which case the notification must not be provided to parents and legal guardians until the emergency event is resolved or the principal or the principal's designee determines that providing the notification does not impede an ongoing investigation, as applicable.
