SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Gifted Education Consortium. Establishes the Virginia Gifted Education Consortium to facilitate collaboration, cooperation, and communication among school divisions to address issues of mutual concern regarding gifted education. Comprised of no more than 26 members, the consortium shall be composed of volunteer representatives of local school divisions, professional associations for the gifted, institutions of higher education, teachers, researchers, parents, and advocates of gifted education. The consortium is to promote the early identification of gifted and talented students and to attend to the educational and support needs of gifted students, particularly minority, poor, and special needs students, and those who demonstrate exceptional talents in other areas recognized under federal law. The consortium shall also monitor the quality and needs of such programs, propose changes that may be needed to improve gifted education, network and share best practices, and deliberate and collaborate on mutual interests and concerns. The Superintendent of Public Instruction is required to convene the consortium for its first meeting and provide for the establishment of a meeting schedule. He is also required to designate staff to observe the proceedings. This is a section 1 bill and will not be codified. Its provisions expire on July 1, 2001.
The initial version of the measure was a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Educational Needs of Certain Gifted Students.
