SEVA is a group that represents the gifted education coordinators for public school divisions in Virginia’s Region II. 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an updated draft of the gifted regulations was considered by the BOE in September and October of 2020, and then it was withdrawn in 2021. A tremendous amount of work was done to create that version, and so it is a preferred place to start when reviewing current research and best practices to include in future revisions.
