On January 13, 2020, Governor Phil Murphy signed into law A4710, the Strengthening Gifted and Talented Education Act. The Act establishes school district responsibilities in educating gifted and talented students and requires that a coordinator for gifted and talented services be appointed at the state level. New Jersey’s gifted and talented education services are now under the oversight of the New Jersey Department of Education’s (NJDOE) Division of Student Services. Leslie Franks McRae, Director of the Office of Supplemental Educational Programs, has been assigned the role of state coordinator for gifted and talented education. Assisting Leslie is Cierra Belin, Data Analyst Trainee.
