What special programs are offered for gifted students?
The State Board of Education requires and authorizes each local district to develop curriculum for their gifted students in grades K-12, following the guidelines in USOE Rule R277-711-3. To find out more about specific program offerings for gifted students, parents and educators should contact the gifted program coordinator in the local school system. Many local school districts also have their own web pages linked to the USOE page. These sites may be a good way to learn about specific programs of interest. For example, some districts offer magnet programs for gifted and talented students; some offer the International Baccalaureate curriculum and diploma program.
