Disparities in Hanover Gifted Education Services
 

In Hanover Public Schools:  African American students make up 10% of the student enrollment but only 3% of students receiving gifted education services.  Caucasian students are 85% of the student enrollment, yet 91% of students receiving gifted education services.

 

 

Recommendation: Gifted regulations include a provision requiring all governor school budgetary information be reported on the VADOE database in a manner similar to that of all school division budget information
