Texas gifted and talented education requirements
Texas requires school districts to identify and serve gifted students through a K-12 continuum aligned with the State Plan for Gifted/Talented Students.
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: A district-designed continuum offered during the school day and across the school year.
How students are identified: Districts use board-approved procedures and multiple measures consistent with the State Plan.
