Governor Expected to Call For Special Session

Governor Bredesen has called a press conference for this afternoon. He is expected to announce a call for a special legislative session to commence immediately upon the return of the General Assembly in January. Although there had been discussion that a special session could be called related to Worker's Compensation changes about to take effect, it is believed this call will relate to education reforms designed to position Tennessee better in the "Race to the Top" for additional Federal education dollars for innovation in K-12 education.
