It’s been about a month since we launched St. Johns Gifted and we wanted to share some statistics with you:

Brandee Eburn posted an article on the CCE Parents Group Yahoo Group about a bill in the Florida legislature to hold school districts accountable for spending funds allocated to gifted education on appropriate programs. In summary, legislators feel some districts are not spending funds allocated for gifted programs on gifted students because the funds are provided as a lump sum for special education. Legislators also want to mandate gifted screening for all students.

A free public school for profoundly gifted pupils on the University of Nevada, Reno Campus, The Davidson Academy of Nevada is seeking qualified students to apply for the 2008-2009 school year. The mission of The Davidson Academy is to provide profoundly gifted young people an advanced educational opportunity matched to their abilities, strengths and interests. The Academy is a non-residential, full-time day school and many families have relocated to Reno in order for their student(s) to attend. To be eligible to attend, students must be at the middle or high school level across all subject areas and score in the 99.9th percentile on IQ or college entrance tests, such as the SAT or ACT.
