Comment Period | Ended on 9/26/2008 |
As a parent of a gifted child in Virginia Beach City Public Schools, I do not support the proposed Gifted Program Regulations and advise the Virginia Department of Education and the State Board of Education to change the regulations to support current research and best practice in gifed education, to attend to the needs of large school divisions such as Virginia Beach and to develop new regulations that improve the qualify of gifted education. I do not support:
In addition, I recommend that state funds administered by the Department of Education for the education of gifted students be used only to support those activities identified in the school division's Local Plan as approved by the School Board of the City of Virginia Beach and the Department of Education. I recommend a change to REINSTATE: State funds administered by the Department of Education for the education of gifted students shall be used to support only those activities identified in the school division's plan as approved by the Board of Education.
