Bill > HB130

This bill imposes requirements on school districts in New Mexico that offer gifted education programs. It requires the state's Department of Education to adopt standards for identifying gifted students, including through universal screening, and to evaluate the equity and effectiveness of gifted education programs. The bill also mandates that school districts create parent and community advisory committees for gifted education, develop policies for academic acceleration and enrichment, and provide supports for disadvantaged and disabled students identified as gifted. Additionally, the bill clarifies that students identified as both gifted and having a disability (known as "twice-exceptional") remain eligible for special education services.
