Bill > SB1600

This bill mandates that by the 2027-28 school year, all school districts must implement universal screenings for every student at least once before they begin third grade to identify gifted students, using a variety of evidence from at least two areas such as general mental ability testing, academic achievement, or creativity, and requiring at least three trained staff members to review the results for potential referral for further assessment, while also clarifying that a child cannot be identified as gifted solely based on participation in advanced placement or international baccalaureate courses and must meet the state's definition of gifted children, with no single screening tool preventing further data collection.
