Missouri passes bill to screen all students before third grade for gifted programs, aiming to identify high-achieving children overlooked in under-identified districts.
The Missouri House has passed a bill requiring public schools to screen all students at least once before third grade for gifted education, aiming to identify high-achieving children currently overlooked.
The legislation, backed by bipartisan lawmakers, mandates multiple assessment methods—including academic performance, creativity, and teacher or parent referrals—and requires review by three trained staff members.
It seeks to help districts meet the 3% threshold needed to offer gifted programs, addressing widespread under-identification.
The bill now moves to the Senate and would take effect in the 2027-28 school year.
