[quote=Anonymous]We went to the meeting tonight and it was a pretty good turnout.  If you have a child in the second grade that is identified as a TAG student they will most likely get into the program.  You have to apply to the lottery.  There seems to be a shortage of parents actually applying for the lottery after their kid is identified as TAG.

A parent proposed the idea of a TAG Middle School for TAG students only.  That idea was shot down immediately for lack of funding and not having a place for the neighborhood kids to attend if that were to happen.  Currently there are three tag middle schools in PG and there are no plans for expanding.  At most, they are seeking to add more seats/classes to the current schools.  If your child is in the TAG program in middle school for high school they have the choice of enrolling in an IB program or test into the Tech/Science program.

Overall, the program seems to be a good but as a parent you have to be aware that if your child is in the TAG pullout program they can be pulled out of a core class such as science, math, or reading to attend the TAG program once a week.  Your child is still responsible for the covering the lesson taught and complete homework that was assigned that day.
