The state framework applies here, but the district’s current local name, referral calendar, identification tools, service locations, and grade-by-grade delivery still need direct district confirmation.

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.
