Document Number: 5761 Intellectually Gifted Students Joint Study Committee Report - In 2003, in order to respond to constituent concerns about the effectiveness of the state’s gifted and talented program, the Tennessee legislature created a committee to study the issue and propose changes to rules and regulations in five interrelated areas.
