Extractions: StudyWorks News Science News Environmental News Archives of Environmental News ... Earth Observatory Haze through the trees at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Photo courtesy National Park Service. The air around Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains will soon lighten. That's because coal burning power plants in the region are finally cleaning up their act. You see power plants across the country have long enjoyed an escape from current regulations based on the Clean Air Act. That's because when the Clean Air Act was signed into law, there was a clause, called a "grandfather clause." Older "grandfather" plants would be more expensive to upgrade to meet new clean air standards. So lawmakers gave the oldsters a break by specifying that they could meet the new clean air standards the next time any significant work or updates were performed on the plant. Unfortunately, many of the grandfathered plants are still in operation and spew out up to 10 times more pollutants than current regulations deem acceptable. In Tennessee, that's beginning to change. After years of lawsuits and pressure from environmental protection groups, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is working to bring at least some of its grandfathered plants up-to-date.

GiftedTN The purpose of this web page is to give parents a basic overview of the lawsand regulations pertaining to gifted education in tennessee. Site Meter. http://giftedtn.org/giftedtn/rules_and_laws.html
Extractions: Tennessee law requires school districts to identify gifted students and to provide them with an appropriate education. If the regular education program is not designed to meet a gifted student's educational needs, then state law requires that the student receive an individualized education plan with specific goals and objectives. Tennessee's gifted education law acts like a safety net for gifted students. On the one hand, if a school district offers plenty of advanced courses, differentiation, and acceleration as part of their regular program, fewer gifted students will need education plans. On the other hand, if a school district does not provide accommodations for their brightest students, then almost all of their gifted students will require education plans. The quality of a school district's advanced academic offerings at each grade level can determine how many and which gifted students need plans. Keep in mind that all gifted children have different strengths and needs, so some children will need education plans even though they are enrolled in a gifted program or magnet school.
