Do Not Adopt
 

 

  • Further dialogue is necessary.
  • Until reliable measures are developed, assessments for growth should not be part of the regulation.
  • Reverting back to an annual plan would hinder progress.
  • Please change the word "and" to "or" in the requirement to serve students in all four subject areas.  Many best practice resources for gifted students integrate the disciplines.
