TN SB2318

Private postsecondary institutions, including religiously affiliated colleges and universities with a campus in Tennessee, are authorized to establish public charter schools

Nonpublic schools (private K-12 schools) are explicitly prohibited from establishing public charter schools

Charter school sponsors cannot be for-profit entities, nonpublic schools, or postsecondary institutions that lack regional accreditation

Statutory language is updated throughout to replace "public institution of higher education" with "postsecondary institution," expanding eligibility beyond public colleges
