use Gifted funds exclusively for gifted programs
 
    I would like to see the rules  8VAC20-40-70. Funding modifed such that gifted funding is used exclusively for the gifted programs at each school.  NOT rolled in to the general budget or funds of the school district as has happened in the past.

    I would like to see sufficient funding that all qualified candidates for the Governor's Schools could attend, not just a small percentage of those qualified.

    Upon reading this VAC, it is clear that any update be more concise, to the point and absent the legalese that prevails in these codes.  It is apparent that many more people spend many more hours codifying than doing.
