This series contains reports, correspondence, and other files generated by the office in coordinating and administering the program for gifted students in school systems throughout the State. Usually the folders for each school system contain (1) the system's comprehensive plan which describes the system's philosophy, needs assessment, goals, implementation plans, organization, criteria for eligibility and placement, and facilities and support services available; (2) requests from local systems for funds for instructional personnel salaries; (3) proposals for special programs and courses for gifted students, sometimes including detailed descriptions of courses and lesson plans; and (4) related correspondence between the State and local officials.
