Gifted News from the JCESC

See the links for the latest news on the Gifted Operating Standards which will not be decided until after the new year.  


Gifted Operating Standards

The gifted operating standards battle will continue into the new year. Technically, to follow the JCARR (Joint Committee Agency Rule Revision) process, the State Board of Education was required to pass a draft of operating standards at the December meeting. However, with continued questions about the impact of the governor's veto language on funding accountability and more questions about potential state board member conflicts of interest, the vote on the draft has been delayed. It is unclear what the plan is to move forward. For more information about the operating standards and what you can do to help, please read the Gifted Advocacy Updates each week at www.oagc.com/?q=AdvocacyAlert . The last update was on 12.11.13. The next new update will not be posted until after the new year.
