Like many others I ask that the Regulations Governing Educational Services for Gifted Students in Virginia be reviewed/revised to address the disproportionate representation of low income and minority students. The demographic  composition of children in the gifted  programs in school divisions across the state should reflect that of the population. We must close achievement gaps among ethnic/racial groups. Revisions to the Regulations must have as a goal the opportunity to address and close those acheivement gaps. I support the movement to revise the Virginia Reguations Governing Educational Services for Gifted Students.  Marcus Martin MD
