District updates TAG plan; seeks better proportionality and earlier screening

The district presented its updated Talented and Gifted (TAG) plan, noting the Oregon Department of Education requires an annual update. The coordinator explained identification options—teacher and parent referrals, universal screening, intelligence screening—and said the district has shifted some cut scores so that identification now targets roughly the top 10% (90th percentile) to balance service delivery. She described the PEP (Personal Education Plan), analogous to an IEP, used to document services for identified students.
