The proposed changes to the gifted regulations should not be adopted. Their adoption would serve to undermine the progress that the Commonwealth of Virginia has achieved in providing appropriate educational experiences and opportunities for our brightest and most capable students.
The role of VDOE is vital and provides guidance and direction for organizational design to local districtts across the state. An annual time frame for lsubmitting ocal plans does not provide adequate time for propram evaluation which should include modifications and/or revisions.
As currently expressed by many, "No child should be left behind and that sentiment does include the gifted child".
