Tennessee lawmakers have filed more than 300 education bills. Here’s Chalkbeat’s tool to help you keep track.

From tweaking testing to restricting recess, more than 300 education proposals await state lawmakers as committee work kicks in this week for the 110th Tennessee General Assembly.

To help you keep track, Chalkbeat is rolling out our bill tracker for a third straight year.

The deadline for lawmakers to file bills was Feb. 9. Since most have counterparts in both the Senate and the House, the 300-plus bills filed represent some 154 separate proposals about governing Tennessee schools.

But each bill has a long way to go before making it to Gov. Bill Haslam’s desk, where he can veto, sign into law, or let it become law without his signature. Legislation must first wind through committees, beginning with the two House education panels, which meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and the Senate Education Committee, which meets on Wednesdays.
