Programs for the Gifted in a State without a Mandate: An "Endangered Species"?

Purcell, Jeanne

Roeper Review, v15 n2 p93-95 Nov-Dec 1992

Two surveys of educators examined the status of gifted programs in Connecticut during 1989 to 1991. The 1991 results indicate that increasing numbers of programs for the gifted are experiencing jeopardy resulting from the state's fiscal crisis. The number of program eliminations increased by 63% and program reductions rose by 11%. (Author/JDD)
