Each school district shall establish written procedures for the referral of students to participate in programs for highly capable students. Such procedures shall permit referrals based on data or evidence from teachers, other staff, parents, students, and members of the community.
A district's referral procedure for students who are highly capable may include screening procedures to eliminate students who, based on clear, current evidence, do not qualify for eligibility under WAC
392-170-055.
Consistent with RCW
28A.185.020, district practices for identifying the most highly capable students must prioritize equitable identification of low-income students.
