The ECBOCES Administrative Unit (AU) Gifted Education Budget is divided between the twenty school districts. Our GERC/coordinator works closely with gifted coordinators and administration in each district to identify and provide professional development opportunities for teachers, quality resources and instructional materials, and regional event opportunities that support gifted student academic and social-emotional needs. Each year, ECBOCES collects information from districts to determine how gifted education funds are spent to support gifted students in our region. The following is an approximate description of how funds are used in our region:
40% Licensed, endorsed personnel working with gifted students
30% Activities associated with instruction for gifted students
20% Professional Development for educators of gifted students
10% Instructional Materials for gifted students
