The VCGEA is a group that represents the gifted education administrators for public school divisions in Virginia. Our members wholeheartedly endorse a review and update of these essential regulations. The regulatory process was initiated and an updated draft of the gifted regulations was considered by the BOE in September and October of 2020 (October 14-15, 2020 | Virginia Department of Education, see Action/Discussion Items, letter J), and then it was withdrawn in 2021. A tremendous amount of work was done to create that version, and so it should be the place to start when reviewing current research and best practices to include in future revisions.
