This document will review the new ISBE Gifted and Accelerated file for Illinois state reporting.
What is Gifted and Accelerated?
Gifted and Accelerated is a new collection for SY 2020. Illinois districts must provide a Gifted and Accelerated record for each student in grades K-12 that ends the school year with them. Gifted and Accelerated records are unique by Home RCDT and school year.
The report will display data on students with student programs and sub programs.
