Revision of Virginia Regulations
 

I support the NAACP's request to consider a revision of the Virginia Regulations Governing Educational Services for Gifted Students to include provisions to help eliminate achievement gaps between students from different socio-economic groups. It is essential that minorities and less forunate studetns become a key percentage of the gifted and talented students that lead the the elementary and middle schools in the state of Virginia. The standrads and requirements need to be as un-bias as possible and if that means regulations being changed then that is a change I supoort.
