Hi Tinkerweed -

I'd also be curious to see what you find out. We try to keep the Davidson state pages as up-to-date as possible (http://www.davidsongifted.org/db/state_policy_arizona_10004.aspx), often times using information from NAGC. Arizona has always been fully funded, but I recently saw this article come through:
http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2010/oct/15/gifted-funds-gutted/.

The article contains these lines:

Quote
With the state�s elimination of funding for gifted education, events such as the conference have become the Payson Unified School District�s main way of providing local opportunities to serve the exceptionally bright.


Quote
With state gifted funding completely gutted this year, local groups and organizations must pick up the slack, said Laing, the state�s director of gifted education, on Wednesday.


I'll try to do some more research to see what has changed in Arizona.
