Action | Revision of regulations school divisions must meet in their gifted education programs, K - 12 |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 9/26/2008 |
These proposed regulations will eviscerate the gifted education program in Virginia. Allowing each locality to set its own standards with no statewide supervision will render the Virginia Gifted Education Program meaningless and erode our students' place in the national educational marketplace. This type of reversion to local supervision and funding is nothing more than an attempt to eliminate the program entirely. Our children have a right to demand more from our state and our lawmakers.
