Third Grade Remediation

The Tennessee General Assembly passed a key piece of legislation during the 112th General Assembly - the Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act - to help ensure students could recover from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and close gaps in students' learning. As part of this legislation, the General Assembly updated the state's third grade retention law, T.C.A. 49-6-3115, to ensure students receive additional supports before promotion to fourth grade.
