Board approves first reading to amend 19 TAC §89.1 (gifted/talented student identification)
Summary
The Committee on Instruction brought a proposed amendment to 19 TAC Chapter 89, Subchapter A (gifted and talented education) section 89.1 on student identification for first reading and filing authorization; the motion from the committee passed on first reading.
The Committee on Instruction recommended and the board approved for first reading and filing authorization a proposed amendment to 19 TAC Chapter 89, Subchapter A — Gifted and Talented Education, section 89.1 (student identification).
Dr. Young presented the committee motion: "The Committee on Instruction recommends to the State Board of Education that they approve for first reading and filing authorization proposed amendment to 19 TAC Chapter 89 Adaptations for Special Populations Subchapter A Gifted Talented Education section 89.1, student identification." The motion was adopted on voice/recorded vote; members reported support.
Why it matters: a rule change for student identification alters local identification processes and could affect services for identified gifted students across districts.
Next steps: the item will proceed through the rulemaking process (first reading/filing authorization completed); the board will later consider final adoption after rulemaking steps are complete.
