Identification - Talented and Gifted**
In order to serve academically talented and intellectually gifted students in grades K-12, the district directs the superintendent or his/her designee to establish a written identification process. This process shall include as a minimum:
Behavioral, learning and/or performance information;
A nationally standardized mental ability test for assistance in identifying intellectually gifted students;
A nationally standardized academic achievement test for assistance in identifying academically talented students.
Identified students shall score at or above the 97th percentile on one of these tests. Other students who demonstrate the potential to perform at the eligibility criteria, as well as additional students who are talented and gifted may be identified.
The Board has established an appeals process for parents to utilize if they are dissatisfied with the identification process of their student for the district program for talented and gifted students and wish to request reconsideration.
