Board reviews 2023–24 Gifted & Talented evaluation; no action taken
Summary
Trustees received the district's Gifted & Talented program report for 2023–24, including four-year enrollment trends and professional learning for teachers; the board took no action.
At the Oct. 31 meeting, Teaching & Learning coordinator Lori Fuller and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Mina Schnitta presented the Gifted & Talented (G/T) program evaluation for 2023–24. The report, attached to the minutes, summarizes program structure (pull-out for K–5 and content-based for grades 6–12), staffing, professional learning (18 hours for teachers and paraprofessionals), and a four-year enrollment summary showing 34 FSHE and 66 Cole G/T students in 2023–24.
The G/T Advisory committee reviewed alignment to the Texas state plan and made procedural changes to assessment reviews, which the report says increased identification of twice-exceptional students. The board accepted the report as information; no motions or policy changes were recorded.
The minutes include a list of advisory board members and note campus showcases and student participation in regional events as program highlights.
