Do all Washington schools offer the same program to highly capable students?
School districts in the State of Washington have the option of applying for the State Highly Capable Program (HCP) grant. Districts that apply for and receive HCP funding, must comply with the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Chapter 392-170 Special Service Program – Highly Capable Students. In the development of program policies, options, and implementation procedures districts have local control. This means that each district has control in developing its own unique Highly Capable program so long as the program complies with the WAC. To find out specific information about a district’s highly capable program, contact the district directly.
