Automatic Referral 

The eligibility team shall review the results of system-wide norm-referenced test results to determine those students who meet locally established criteria to be automatically referred for consideration in the gifted program. 

Locally established criteria include any of the following: 

• Performance at the 85th percentile or higher on the iReady Math or iReady Reading Diagnostic or any other national norm-reference test.

• Students who are distinguished learners on the Math and/or English Language Arts GMAS will be considered for possible gifted referral.    

Once the referral submission has passed, each school's eligibility team will review student data to determine if a formal evaluation for gifted services is required.

• A referral submission does not guarantee a formal evaluation.

• The review team must establish whether the evidence confirms the need for formal evaluation.

• If the evidence confirms the need for a formal evaluation, the parents/guardians of the identified student will receive a permission form to test.  Parental consent is required before testing can begin.
