Charter School Task Force Report
February 2011
Authors: Phil Doss and Rebecca Wright
In 2008, the Tennessee General Assembly passed Public Chapter 1133 directing the Comptroller’s Offices of Research and Education Accountability, in consultation with the Tennessee Department of Education and the State Board of Education, to appoint a task force to study and evaluate Tennessee’s charter school law. In March 2010, the first Charter School Interim Task Force Report was released. In 2010, the Tennessee General Assembly amended Tennessee Code Annotated 49-13-129 with Public Chapter 930, which created a second charter school task force to be coordinated by OREA. This is the second Charter School Task Force Report.
