BUSD’s GATE identification procedures are equitable, comprehensive, and reflect the District’s definition of intellectual giftedness and that relationship to current state criteria. 

It is the goal of the District to expand efforts to locate students who may be “intellectually gifted.” Once identified, these students should be provided stimulating and differentiated educational experiences. 

The student population of the BUSD GATE Program should proportionately represent the student population of the District with regard to gender, race, ethnicity, and current efforts are focusing on increasing the numbers of students from underrepresented groups.
