This is taken from the report and suggests TDSB does plan to do away with gifted programs (falls under Spec Ed) & 'integrate' these students into 'regular classess':
"Special Education programs, in particular the Home School Program & the Gifted Program, be reformed, taking into account the principles of the recent recommendations made by the Special Education Advisory Committee (2016- 17), specifically in terms of:
o Appropriate placement & integration of students with special education needs into regular classes with the necessary supports.
o Ensuring that every teacher has the skills to support ALL students, including those with special education needs, in the classroom.
o Eliminating both physical & attitudinal barriers against students with disabilities & those who are racialized or historically marginalized.
o Ensuring that all families, including those new to Canada and whose first language is not English, can respectfully navigate the Special Education system with confidence."
