Board approves AIG plan revisions; district says AIG program will continue
Summary
The board approved revisions to the district's Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) plan for 2025'2028; Dr. Katrina McCallum emphasized the changes alter service delivery to expand certified teacher support and are not a removal of the program.
Dr. Katrina McCallum presented revisions to Caldwell County Schools' Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) plan for the 2025'2028 school years and asked the board to approve local board changes before resubmitting the plan to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). She said the changes are meant to expand services and increase the number of teachers certified to serve AIG students. "We are not doing away with our AIG program," McCallum said, addressing what she described as social-media misconceptions.
Board members confirmed parents had been notified of the changes via a letter. The motion to approve the revised AIG plan was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board will resubmit the approved plan to DPI as required by state procedures; the board had discussed the revisions previously in a work session, McCallum said.
