Gifted Education
St. Elmo Gifted Program is a great program and it is a joy to walk through the halls and see the student products. At this time, there are no plans to cut the staff for next school year. As with all programs, the budget may have to be trimmed, but hopefully we will maintain the quality of the program, in spite of hard times.

With the move toward a more educated work force due to the loss of "lower tech" jobs throughout the region it would behoove us to tighten any belts possible to retain the gifted program. Columbus has struggled for many years now to keep its best and brightest in the area. The St. Elmo program has pushed some of those outstanding kids to look at learning in a very different way hopefully leading them to pursue a higher degree of education. Perhaps a business-school partnership could assist with keeping the funding at the current level.
