The Bowling Green Independent School District’s Board of Education is committed to supporting the needs of children who have been identified as possessing the ability to perform at exceptionally high levels. These children are identified and provided services based on criteria outlined in 704 KAR 3:285.  The Bowling Green Independent School District has adopted board policies to support the Gifted and Talented Services. 

The district also takes into consideration environmental, cultural, and disabling conditions which may mask a child’s true abilities that lead to exclusion of otherwise eligible students, such as a student who qualifies as an exceptional child as defined by KRS 157.200, disadvantaged, or underachieving.

Each school in the district has a Gifted and Talented Educational Services Contact who facilitates service delivery for identified students. The school contact acts as a resource for the faculty by providing specific instructional assistance for the teachers and providing information on special projects and activities for gifted and talented students. The district has one resource teacher who provides consultation and collaborative services to teachers and direct services to students K-5.
