State context
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.
For families: An identification record does not guarantee a dedicated program. Ask the district what acceleration, enrichment, or other services it currently offers.
