[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The name was only changed because there were parents who thought that if it is a Giftd and Talented Program, then it must also be for my child who is talented in music, art, athletics, what have you. [b]FCPS wanted to emphasize the academic nature of the program[/b] and that they were not equipped to provide advanced training for other than academic talent. The change occurred when one of my children was in elementary GT and I followed the discussions and reason for the change at the time. Also, the commonwealth of Virginia requires that school districts provide what is specifically referred to as "gifted" education for their students. FCPS simply changed the name of the Gifted and Talented Program to the Advanced Academic Program; the program itself did not change. [/quote] +1 [/quote]
