Directions: By Aug. 20 of each year, participating schools will have to report all of their 12th grade students who participate in the ESA program as one of the following: graduated, completed, withdrew from the school, repeating 12th grade, or other with explanation. Participating schools will define graduation as a student who has received a regular diploma or a special education diploma.
Participating schools will define completion as a student who has taken and passed the HiSET or GED.
If a school doesn't have any students enrolled who are in the ESA program and who are graduating/completing high school, the school must email esa.questions@tn.gov by the deadline above to report to the department that the school does not have any students who are graduating/completing.
