SCS/SB 904 - This act prohibits school districts from determining whether a child is gifted based on the child's participation in an advanced placement course or international baccalaureate course. Whether a child is gifted must be determined using the statutory definition of "gifted children". Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, this act also reduces a district's funding as described in the act when it experiences a decrease in its gifted program enrollment of 20% or more from the previous school year. This provision shall not apply to school districts with an average daily attendance of three hundred fifty or less. This provision shall be effective July 1, 2017. This act is substantially similar to HB 1419 (2016) and is similar to HB 637 (2015). JOSHUA NORBERG
