Are you interested in expanding gifted and talented services on a small budget? Paris Independent Schools has been able to create a partnership with Georgetown College to begin a certification cohort to significantly reduce the gifted and talented student-to-teacher ratio in the district. Through collaboration and creative thinking, the district will be able to serve students with a wide variety of expanded services.
