Do NOT change GT Regulations
 

I do not support the proposed GT regulations.

GT students fall under the umbrella of "students with special needs". Would you conisder these same changes for students at the other end of the "special needs" spectrum? I don't think so...and I don't think you should be taking away funding and state oversight for the GT program. You will be doing a great disservice to our students who have high end special education needs.

Please do not make the proposed changes.
