Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experiences or environment. Academically or Intellectually Gifted students exhibit high-performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or in both the intellectual areas and specific academic fields. Academically or Intellectually Gifted students require differentiated educational services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program. Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor.  Article 9B states that all gifted students are required to receive services based on the school/district's local AIG plan.  The legislation can be found at https://ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/pdf/ByArticle/Chapter_115c/Article_9B.pdf 

The Advanced Math Course (AMC) legislation strengthens NC’s focus on broadening access and opportunities by ensuring that all impacted students receive rigorous, academically appropriate instruction in mathematics and that students are not overlooked for advanced learning opportunities in mathematics.  The bill essentially states that every student who receives a 5 on their EOG in grades 3-11 in mathematics must be given advanced mathematics opportunities in the following year.
