District Level Coding Gifted and Talented: PEIMS Codes
School Districts must annually notify the Texas Education Agency with the District Program Indicator Code for Gifted and Talented Students. This notification occurs in October. In Klein ISD, the program code is 04. Please review the following TEA presentation regarding District Level Coding.
Klein ISD GT Student Transfer Policy-EHBB
When a student identified as gifted by a previous school district enrolls in the District, the District shall place the student in the District's program for gifted and talented students for the remainder of the current school year.
The District shall assess the student during the next annual screening period using the District's established identification criteria, and the selection committee shall determine if continued placement in the District's program for gifted and talented students is appropriate.
