Ed Note: Perhaps the "n/a" for Wisconsin GT Students receiving GT
services is relatd to the fact that Wisconsin does not have a state
level coordinator, and although the state mandates a GT Program, the
legislature provides no funding for it. This is not atypical for
the Wisconsin State Legislature.
