New York gifted screening and local-program framework
New York requires screening of new school entrants for possible giftedness, but does not require districts to identify gifted students or operate 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 entrant screening with locally optional gifted programming.
How students are identified: New entrants are screened; any additional identification process is local.
