Early Access to Educational Services for Kindergarten and First Grade
House Bill 1021 became effective in July 2008. House Bill 1021 defines the 4 or 5 year old child who may benefit from early access as a “highly advanced gifted child”. This child is academically gifted, socially and emotionally mature, in the top 2% or less of the gifted peer group, motivated to learn, and ready for advanced placement, and has exhausted the resources of preschool or home schooling. The intent of HB 1021 is to meet the unique needs of the “highly advanced gifted child”. It does not permit early access to all gifted 4 or 5 year olds. Quality preschool programs will meet the needs of most gifted children. If you would like more information, please contact Sharon Webb at 478-2186 Ext. 612.
