Summary

Existing law states the intent of the Legislature to improve the quality of existing programs for gifted and talented pupils, and to ensure that pupils from economically disadvantaged and varying cultural backgrounds be provided with full participation in gifted and talented education (GATE) programs. Existing law requires the State Board of Education to review criteria, as specified, for programs for gifted and talented pupils proposed by applicant school districts. This bill would, upon the next revision of the specified criteria, require the state board to adopt a standard for pupil identification to ensure the identification procedures of an applicant school district provide economically disadvantaged pupils and pupils of varying cultural backgrounds with full participation in GATE programs, and would make other nonsubstantive changes.
