The business portion of the meeting commenced after the initial welcome. Key discussions focused on Old Donation School (ODS), including its mission statement, procedures for gifted identification and selection, and local/national norms related to student scoring. Breakout sessions explored the overall role of ODS within the VBCPS educational framework and student selection methods. The committee passed motions recommending the use of a 1-5 scale versus a 1-4 scale for ODS Selection, and recommended retaining individual scores rather than ranking by consensus.
