NYC DOE: Add More Citywide Gifted and Talented Programs


NYC DOE: Add More Citywide Gifted and Talented Programs
The Issue
The Citywide G&T program was created to offer a unique environment for accelerated students throughout the five boroughs and help New York's children reach their full potential. But the Mayor and the DOE have not provided enough programs to allow many hundreds of high-qualifying children access to an appropriate level of education.
I am asking the Mayor and the DOE to address this problem in the following ways:
• Add new Citywide G&T programs and expand existing programs to provide space for qualifying children.
• Fairly distribute Citywide G&T programs to accommodate the many qualified children who cannot attend simply because they do not live close enough.
