Our district, under "placement procedures" in its written gifted education policy states:
"Written criteria provided by the District shall include an explanation of the methods used to ensure equal access to each gifted service for all eligible District students, including minority or disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, and students for whom English is a second language."
This reads as state boiler plate, so it would be the same state wide in districts that offer services.
But, as you know, written policy and administrators who really get it are different things. In our case, the standard tools they use for ID are really problematic for several disabilities and they won't budge on making any accommodations.
