Does New York State mandate gifted education services?
Unfortunately, we do not have a mandate for gifted education here in New York State. What the law simply requires is that every public school district test to determine who the gifted are in their population. However, the law is silent about what districts must do to provide services for the gifted in their schools. For more information about gifted education in New York State visit the New York State Education Department web site. Also visit the Advocacy/Legislation link to keep up to date on gifted issues within NY State.
