Please increase funding for the provision of gifted services. Current funding levels are woefully inadequate. Despite the best efforts of the GS teachers/coordinators at the two schools with which I am familiar, there just aren't enough of them (GS teachers) to meet the needs of the many exceptional students.
I recognize that other constituencies need funds, too, but it's the gifted kids who might one day -- if their potential is realized -- solve some of the problems the other constituencies have. And failing to appropriately challenge kids who need it risks losing their interest in school altogether.
