     The West Virginia Board of Education on Thursday, December 10, 2009, adopted revisions to the state policy governing children with exceptionalities.

     The changes in Policy 2419 affecting gifted education are on pages 26 and 27. The first change is updated language to address composite scores on revised, comprehensive tests of intellectual ability. The second change strengthens the requirement for a Four-Year Education Plan for students not eligible as Exceptional Gifted (EG)
