Julie Reiley believes that gifted education is a type of special education which should be offered and enhanced.  She is a Yale educated lawyer who plans to work with Annapolis closely for school funding.

Karla Silvestre was a driving force behind the new GT admission rules.  She discussed it at the recent Clarksburg forum, and confirmed to a parent in a private discission after that she was a supporter and a voter of the new rules which emphasize where students live (i.e. diversity) over their test scores.  This was widely publicised on NextDoor forums.[/quote]

Good to know. Reiley it is. (in principle I'm actually fine with changes to GT admission rules, provided it's done in a thoughtful way with proper communication. Since I know Silvestre is a driving force behind the cluster**** this year, I will be sure to vote for her opponent and recommend to everyone I know they do the same).[/quote]

The improvements to GT admissions were a great success and long overdue. Unfortunately, many parents who used to game the system when applicants were limited to students whose parents nominated them were agitated by the more competitive system that came with universal screening.[/quote]
