Superintendent Spicer previews GT expansion, virtual thought exchange and community meeting
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Spicer updated trustees on holiday activities and plans to expand gifted-and-talented services across three middle schools, announcing a virtual 'thought exchange' and an in-person meeting at Waco High School to solicit family feedback.
Superintendent Dr. Spicer told the board that holiday performances and community partnerships have highlighted student achievement and community support, citing the Wade Bowen Family Foundation and Make-A-Wish programming for middle school students. She described ongoing work to expand GT services across all three middle schools and said the district is developing staffing and instructional frameworks to provide ATLAS-style opportunities regardless of campus.
Dr. Spicer said the district will launch a virtual 'thought exchange' to gather family feedback (including Spanish-language options) and will hold an in-person community meeting at Waco High School after the holidays to share detailed plans and address themes from the exchange. "We have now reached a point in the planning process where it is essential to reengage our community, particularly the families of our elementary and our middle school GT students," she said.
