Agenda Item Summary: During the 2021–2022 school year, the TAG office has worked to update the Local Plan for the Gifted. The Local Plan utilizes steering committees, which consist of school and central office leaders, teachers, counselors, Talented and Gifted Advisory Committee (TAGAC) members, parents, and outside consultants, to align our program goals with best practices in gifted education and ACPS’s 2025 Strategic Plan.
Background: School divisions are required to identify gifted K–12 students and provide instructional services to meet their needs, and division School Boards are required to approve a comprehensive Local Plan. After the School Board approves the Local Plan, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) receives a copy of the plan. The VDOE periodically conducts technical reviews of each school division’s Local Plan and provides feedback.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information in this memo.
