Gifted students
Ann Sheldon, executive director of Ohio’s Association for Gifted Children, said she was encouraged that Kasich proposed $85 million in gifted education funding, but she still worries about how districts will spend that – how much will help gifted students directly, as opposed to programs that will help every student in the district.
She said 375 districts have cut their gifted services since 2008-09 and 201 districts provide no gifted services at all.
“The largest unknown factor is accountability,” Sheldon said. “I assume that if the governor is willing to put substantial funding into gifted education that he would want gifted children to actually benefit from those funds.”
