http://www.state.nj.us/education/code/current/title6a/chap8.pdfDistricts are required to have a program to identify using mutiple measures and they are required to "consider" the NAGC's Program Standards.

I was a member of a Board of Education that decided that they "considered" these standards and felt they didn't have to do anything beyond that.
