Disparities in gifted education
 

I strongly agree and urge our elected & appointed officials to accept and implement the NAACP recommendation for changes and amendments to the gifted education regulations.  The recommendation of The NAACP will have more equitable gifted & governor's schools program throughout Virginia and America.  It will be beneficial to minorities and low-income gifted students, they'll receive needed services so they can reach not only their full potential but make necessary contribution to Virginia, USA and possibly our global community.  Why should the rich be the only ones with provides services and access?
