A Colorado Gifted Education Review (C-GER) occurs once every four years for each administrative unit around the State of Colorado. If you are interested in knowing more about the results of our recently completed review you can visit the link below. The results of the review will drive decisions for Gifted Education in Northeast Colorado for the next 4 years.
