I [Linda Weitz] wantd to let you
know what David Schuler had said in his response to
my email: "I can assure you no
decision will be made in haste." After
Karen Halverson's review (presented
at the schol board meeting last
night,) "we will then begin
considering any modifications to the
elementary gifted and talented
program (including, but not limited to
NOVA) should be recommended. That
process will take time and must be
based on significant internal and
external data along with input from
parents. Based on that process, a
recommendation (which may or may not
include modifications to our
existing program based on the
aforementioned process) will be
presented to the curriculum, learning,
and student achievement committee
for consideration prior to reaching
the school board level. This
process will take several months at the
very least."
