On May 24, 2016, in a marathon meeting that lasted until 1 in the morning, the School Board approved $100,000 in additional funds for TAG learning. The language in the budget amendment specified that this was "a placeholder to begin implementation of recommendations to improve services for TAG students in partnership with the TAGAC."
The TAG Department reported that it would use these funds to hire an additional teacher on special assignment, or TOSA, to provide professional development and support to teachers. Currently, the department has three TAG TOSAs.
In an April 7, 2016 memo, the district had estimated that the changes recommended by TAGAC would cost $1,0250,000 if fully implemented. See the text of the memo here:

Our next challenge is making sure that the district and school board follow through with strategical, targeted support for TAG services in the district’s two-year budget next spring.
Please consider sending thanks to the board members—in particular, Mike Rosen (mrosen@pps.net) and Paul Anthony (panthony@pps.net) should be noted for their support—and a reminder that we'll be back next year!
