Charter School Renewal Appeals

Effective January 2021, the decision by a local education agency (LEA) to deny a renewal application of a charter agreement may be appealed to the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission (Commission), pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A.) § 49-13-121. Information regarding this process can be found via the Commission's website here.

The State Board was responsible for hearing charter school appeals prior to January 2021. A history of those appeals can be found here and below.
