The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is awarding grants to 14 districts or agencies to support the education of gifted/talented students throughout the state. The total allocation for these 14 awards is $474,400.

The grantees will be providing systematic and continuous learning opportunities for K-12 students with gifts and talents in one or more of the gifted domains: general intellectual, specific academic, creativity, leadership, and the visual and performing arts.
All 2023-24 grantees have helped in creating a slide deck that provides a brief description of their 23-24 G/T grant. This overview also includes information on the grant's focus area(s), overarching goals, and corresponding student activities - see Slide Deck

All students identified as gifted and talented in the state have the right to an appropriate education. Responding to the concern for educational programming for gifted and talented students, the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 106 of 1979. This legislation established the Office for the Gifted & Talented and Advanced Placement. Funds were appropriated to provide financial assistance to school districts operating programs for gifted and talented students. Guidelines were developed to provide information to assist districts in planning, implementing, and evaluating those programs.
Under Delaware State Education Regulation 902, all districts statewide are required to offer services to support gifted students. Each district creates an individual plan to articulate the supports offered. Parents and guardians with questions about gifted programming should contact the district office where their children attend school for more information.

All schools in Maryland are required by COMAR to identify and provide gifted and talented services. Identification of gifted and talented students includes multiple measures of ability, performance, and potential. Every school system must conduct universal screening, which initiates the gifted and talented identification process. FCPS screens all of its students in Grade 2 during a defined testing window that is set every year. Like most of the other school systems in Maryland, FCPS administers the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) as its screener. Students are not retested each year as a CogAT score is valid for three years.
Early talent development is provided to all students in Grades PreK-2. It provides students with thinking and learning opportunities that are not directly provided through the general education curriculum. Documentation of these services is also mandated through COMAR for GTE.
