What is the Fairfield Board of Educations Policy on Gifted / Talented Referrals in Special Education?
As a part of its commitment to serve students with special needs- Fairfield City Schools encourages inquiries about its Enrichment Program at high levels in academic or creative fields when compared to others of their age- experience- or environment. these students require services not ordinarily provided by the regular school program. Students possessing these abilities can be found in all populations- across all economic strata- and in all areas of human endeavor. A student may be referred by teachers- counselors- administrators- parents or guardians- peers- self- or any other individuals with knowledge of the student’s abilities. Additionally- all second grade students will be observed as potential gifted referrals using a gifted behavior checklist. For more information contact the office of Special Education.
