1998 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 22.1-18.1 as follows:
§ 22.1-18.1. Reporting of use of certain education funds.
The Board of Education shall require that each local school board submit the annual report, "Programs for Gifted Education," as required by Board regulations, to the Department of Education.
The local advisory committee on gifted education shall review annually the local plan for the education of gifted students, including revisions, and determine the extent to which the plan for the previous year was implemented. The recommendations of the advisory committee shall be submitted in writing through the division superintendent to the school board.
A school board shall require compliance with Board regulations governing gifted education relative to the use of multiple criteria for the identification of gifted students.
With such funds as may be appropriated for this purpose, the Department of Education shall conduct an annual review of all local gifted education programs, on such date as it may determine, to ensure full implementation and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations governing gifted education. The Department may conduct the review as an on-site observation or require certification of compliance from the division superintendent.
