POLICY 6142.05

EDUCATION OF STUDENTS OR LEARNERS WITH GIFTED ABILITIES

Every student must be challenged in order to develop his or her potential.  For students or learners with gifted abilities this challenge cannot often occur unless their programs are significantly different from regular programs.  The degree of difference in programming required will depend on the individual student. Therefore, the Board believes that our District should provide a variety of challenging opportunities for learning.  As an interim measure, until the Board can secure the resources necessary to provide school-based gifted and enrichment opportunities in all schools for all children, based upon Renzuli’s triad revolving door model, the Board will offer a centralized District Challenge Program.
