Tennessee is examining potential reforms to its school accountability system, which currently operates under two frameworks: the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the state’s own letter-grade rating model. Officials are reportedly weighing whether adjustments are needed to better align or streamline these evaluations. The review comes as districts grapple with balancing federal requirements with state-level assessments. Details on proposed changes or the rationale behind the assessment remain under discussion.
