In addition, there are two federal initiatives of which gifted advocates should be aware:

• Securing funding for the Javits gifted and talented act, which has been effectively eliminated in the Obama education budget request. 
  
• A new bill introduced by Senators Dodd and Grassley (S. 3086) called the "Equity and Excellence" Act of 2010, which would allow grants to support the closing of the high-end achievement gap between low-income high achieving students and their higher-income peers.  
• Summary of the Bill
• Bill Language
  

The National Association for Gifted Children has released its biennial State of the States report on gifted education, based on surveys of state gifted coordinators across the country. It has also released a four page Executive Report, the State of the Nation. 
 
You can find the State of the Nation here and the FAQ here.
