Dear Board of Education,

As a parent of a gifted child, I urge you to revise our outdated gifted education regulations. These regulations are outdated and do not adequately address the unique needs of today's gifted students.

The proposed 2021 regulations offered valuable improvements. Please reconsider them and implement them to ensure gifted students receive the necessary support and opportunities to reach their full potential.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
