Connecticut gifted identification framework
Connecticut requires districts to identify gifted and talented students, but state law does not require districts to provide a gifted program.
Research scope: This record confirms the statewide requirement or framework, not a locally named program. Applicability can differ for charter or special-purpose agencies; confirm the district's current services.
How services work: State-required identification with locally optional programming.
How students are identified: Districts use procedures consistent with Connecticut's gifted-identification requirements.
