Bill > S319

This bill requires Local School Administrative Units (LSAUs, which are essentially school districts) to maintain Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) student services even when a student is transferred to an alternative learning program or alternative school. Specifically, the bill amends existing North Carolina law by adding a new requirement that school districts must develop a procedure to ensure that AIG students continue to receive appropriate educational services if they are placed in an alternative learning environment. Alternative learning programs are typically designed for students who have behavioral issues or who are not succeeding in traditional classroom settings. The bill aims to prevent AIG students from losing access to specialized educational support and enrichment programs simply because they have been moved to a different educational setting. The legislation would take effect immediately upon becoming law, requiring school districts to update their policies to comply with this new requirement.
