Has an RISD TAG school been considered? Would RISD consider adopting and supporting a non-profit group and website (pc-tag.org) that supports TAG families?
An underlying philosophy of the Richardson Independent School District is that each student should have the opportunity to maximize his/her potential ability. In support of this tenet, the district provides a flexible program that accommodates the special needs, abilities, and interests of the gifted students through the modification of depth, complexity, and pacing in the general school program. We feel that this is best accomplished through a combination pullout program for gifted & talented (GT) services and mainstreaming in regular classes on campuses for the remainder of the week. Currently, there are no specific provisions in the Federal No Child Left Behind Act that address GT student needs at the elementary level. RISD receives a .12 add-on to the Average Daily Attendance from the state for identified GT students, and continually monitor other funding sources for possible grants to enhance our services. The district does not currently have any grants specifically for GT service
