HCPS Gifted Education Advisory Council 

• Purpose
• Meeting DatesThe March GEAC meeting has been rescheduled.  The Gifted Education Advisory Council meeting will be held in the Library at Wilder Middle School,  6900 Wilkinson Rd, 23227, on  Thursday, April 1st, from 6:00-7:30 PM.

  New bylaw provisions approved by the HCPS School Board allow for a quorum of 5 members to attend publicly while others who wish to participate virtually may do so through Microsoft TEAMs video conferencing. ​GEAC members who choose to attend the meeting on-site must follow HCPS protocol for entering public buildings​. This includes wearing a face covering at all times, verbally answering a series of health questions, and maintaining social distance. If you do plan to attend the on-site meeting at Wilder Middle School, would you please RSVP to Ms. Christine Sprouse so we can plan accordingly:  ctsprouse@henrico.k12.va.us  We will provide socially distanced seating, a hand sanitizer station, and follow all covid protocol at our on-site meeting.

  *If we don’t have a quorum on-site at Wilder Middle School, we will have to cancel our planned GEAC meeting.*

  A Microsoft Teams link for community members that prefer to access the video conference online can be accessed here. Since we will essentially be having a hybrid meeting of an on-site quorum group and virtual TEAMS call participants, it is suggested that you bring a smartphone or laptops & earbuds if possible, to access the TEAMs call on-site at WMS.  That way, we can all see each other and interact.
