The mission of the Gifted Education Advisory Committee is advocacy for all gifted and talented students. The Committee supports Roanoke City Schools, the Superintendent, and the staff in their efforts on behalf of gifted and talented students; makes recommendations and commendations to the division concerning programming and staff development in order to ensure appropriate education and academic excellence for all gifted and talented students; and serves as a resource for gifted and talented educational information.

The Gifted Education Advisory Committee will meet four times during the school year. The meetings are open to all interested parties. Meeting discussion centers on issues which affect all gifted students in Roanoke City Schools. Individual concerns should be addressed to the classroom teacher, gifted resource teacher, or school principal. Please contact Laura Kelly, Supervisor of Gifted and Advanced Programs, [email protected] or at (540) 853-1089 for further information.
