Yes, I see the "Loc: Missouri" underneath your userid on your posts. I utilized that information when researching "How gifted-friendly is your state?" smile

Did you notice this? A meeting Oct 25, 2015. Possibly something to prepare for... by organizing your team, having them all apprised of current policies (15-page pdf), and preparing impact statements for the Gifted Advisory Council. Contact information, list of Gifted Advisory Council members, and Council Annual Reports are provided. There is a 62-page report dated 2015 which contains information which could help you make your case.

Access to these materials and the 15-page pdf offer the opportunity to learn how the process works, so that interested parties may provide input and influence that process.
