This.

Virginia has - at the state level - a formal definition (including minimum requirements) for a public school G&T program.

I have not seen APS claim they meet those requirements, and I very much doubt that they do.  FWIW, I don’t think Fairfax’s AAP meets the state G&T requirements either, hence their use of the term AAP.  Several public school systems elsewhere in Virginia had been claiming to offer G&T programs, but were publicly told by the state to drop the claim of “G&T program” for not meeting those minimum requirements.

It would be nice if APS did offer a G&T program, IMHO.

While I haven't read the FCPS Local Plan or the APS Local Plan, they both are GT programs and probably meet the state requirements.  (The FCPS program changed the name for PC reasons and to indicate that it serves both GT as well as academically advanced students, not just GT students.  They are calling it a GT+others program, not a GT-only program.)
