Information shall be gathered in each of the four data categories. To qualify for services, at least one of the criteria must be met by a score on a nationally normed standardized test. Any data used in one category to establish a student’s eligibility may not be used in any other category. Assessment data must be current within two years. Students must meet THREE OUT OF THE FOUR AREAS of eligibility. If a student's name is submitted for review a team of gifted endorsed teacher leaders, a counselor from submitting school and one of the student's teachers' will assess all the information and make a determination within a reasonable time frame. This is done only after a parent/guardian and teacher fills out, signs, and turns in a characteristics and permission form.
There will be a “window of referral” time beginning in the 2008-2009 school year as follows:
September 29-October 3 and October 6-11
January 26-30 and February 2-6
Parent permission forms must be completed and signed before any student can be assessed by the MCSD Gifted Education Department.
