Untrue statement.

True statement.

Changing the name of Gifted and Talented Programs

During the course of the GTAC discussions this year, the question was raised about the 
name of the program itself.  [b]We know that the State of Virginia requires Fairfax County 
Public Schools to provide gifted services, but it does not designate the name of those 
services.[/b]  Several choices were discussed and, [b]while some members did not support a 
change, the majority of the Committee membership approved of a name change from 
Gifted and Talented Services to Advanced Academic Programs.  It was felt by the 
Committee that this name change emphasizes efforts to put a label on the service being 
offered and recognizes the academic nature of the program. [/b][/quote]
