...In other business, the school board also approved standards for gifted and talented education, despite concerns that the standard does not go far enough to require school districts to ensure that minorities and students learning English as a second language are fairly represented among the gifted.http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-state-school-board-20120228,0,6813513.story
The standards require schools to identify students in pre-kindergarten who may need gifted classes in the future. Board members also said they will ask school districts to report on the numbers of minority students in their gifted programs.
Schools also would have to offer consistent opportunities for gifted students throughout their education.
