I have been looking into the gifted advocacy issue in my state. The school districts will not do squat if you don't get dpi involved. I just got dpi to order my school to provide services to dd 2nd grade based on her GAI. Now the principle is mad at me because they have to reevaluate all students who have asked for gt services based upon GAI.
I was wondering how many of you have contacted your state senators. I am just starting this process in my state. Under the new stimuls plan there is a ton of money being put into education. Now is the time for us to rise up and advocate for our childrens needs. I urge, I emplore you to call all your represenatives, both federal and state. Call your dpi gifted and talented person, ask them who is gt friendly. There is money there but we all need to ASK for it.
