I believe the 225 min./wk is only for public schools (though providing any services at all is not required.) By state law, they are required to identify the students, but not service them?! Makes no sense! I am not sure, but if they DO provide services that is was they are supposed to offer. My children are in a private Catholic school as well, and they offer enrichment for the younger grades (k-3) then Academically talented starts in 4th-8th, though it's the same thing. The younger grades go 2Xwk/30 min. each time. It's nice to have but it doesn't go along with any school curriculum. it's just that... enrichment. Provides something enriching, but not necessarily more in depth to anything they do in the classroom.
