Ineligible: School-district informational podcast, not a civic meeting

The Nash County Public Schools AIG podcast episode explains the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) screening process for second-grade students, including administration logistics, what the test measures, how scores are used as part of a larger identification process, and how families receive results. The episode emphasizes that the CogAT is teacher-led, untimed, administered online over three days, and is a screening tool (not a final decision) with focus on students scoring at or above the 90th percentile on one or more subtests; additional classroom and performance data are used before any identification for academically gifted services. Families are told reports are sent home with a written narrative and encouraged to contact their school's AIG facilitator with questions. The episode is informational and intended for family outreach rather than public civic decision-making.
