Establishes procedures for school districts to test for gifted students

Summary

The bill would obligate districts to establish a state‑approved gifted education program whenever at least 3% of their students are identified as gifted, and to staff those programs with certified teachers or teachers who complete required professional development. Beginning in the 2027‑28 school year, every district must screen all children before third grade using multiple evidence sources and must provide clear policies, parent notifications, and a review process for identification decisions. The goal is to standardize how gifted students are identified and served across the state.
