A Resource on Gifted Issues

By building a productive parent advocacy group, we are taking a positive and important step toward serving gifted students in our school district. A strong and persistent voice is what led to state and federally mandated services for other special needs students. Ohio has targeted 2012 as the start year for Gifted and Talented service mandates, but that is of small comfort to those who need it now! As parents, we can learn from the experiences of one another. We will collect and communicate news regarding gifted issues to each member of the group.
