Montgomery County Public Schools Expands Gifted Education

At the School Board meeting on October 2, 2007, the School Board approved the superintendent's request to hire four additional gifted resource teachers. This increased staffing will enable every elementary school to have a gifted teacher serving their schools. 

The school division currently employs eight gifted resource teachers serving all students in the school division. The addition of the four gifted resource teachers was made possible through the use of yearend carryover funds as a result of teacher retirements.

"To ensure we provide more enrichment opportunities at each school, and to ensure gifted education services are given to students daily, the additional four teachers were requested and the Board's approval for this is greatly appreciated. As a fully inclusive district, we must ensure our gifted education program continues to grow at all levels," shared Superintendent Dr. Tiffany Anderson.
