The fragmented framework of legal protection for the gifted

A legal framework for resolving disputes in gifted education is slowly evolving. Legislation, court cases, due process hearings, administrative regulations, Letters of Findings issued by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), negotiation, and mediation are the major components of this framework. The authors' thesis is that each state's legal framework should be constructed by sound legislation, and these statutes should then be used as the foundation to settle disputes in gifted education. A second premise is that the most economical and efficient method to settle disputes is to resolve them at the lowest level within the legal framework
