Please do not adopt the new resolution. It is important for the divisions to submit their plans to the DOE rather than just to their own school boards. The state needs to have regulatory and supervisory powers over the plans so all students receive the same level of services through the commonwealth. There also needs to be accountability for the funding for gifted students.
I am asking you to please not adopt this new resolution. Each school division would benifit more if their plan was submitted to DOE instead of their own school board. We need our state to have regulatory and supervisory powers over our gifted program so that all students receive the same level of services throughout the commonwealth. We also need accountabilty for the funding of this program.
