The Eligibility Committee is responsible for making determination whether each transferring student meets Georgia eligibility requirements and makes recommendations for gifted service.
Transfer Students:
-
In-State Transfers: Any student who meets the SBOE eligibility criteria for gifted education services in any school system in Georgia is considered reciprocally eligible to receive gifted education services in Muscogee County upon verification of records. If the student is reported gifted in another school system, but records do not support original placement by SBOE criteria from previous school system, then the student will become a new referral and follow MCSD new referral procedures.
-
Out-of-State Transfers: There is no mandated reciprocity between states for gifted eligibility. Outside data must be considered when determining eligibility but does not automatically supplant district-generated data.
-
Military Transfers: Based on the Military Compact on Educational Opportunities for Military Children, students who have been identified as gifted will receive the same level of services as they received in the sending school district after the student has been processed through Muscogee County School District’s Eligibility Team and upon verification of records.
