Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 8 - DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION › Subtitle 2 - EDUCATION › Part 1 - PUBLIC SCHOOL › Chapter 51 - PROVISION OF APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN WHO ARE GIFTED AND TALENTED › Section 8-51-1 - Purpose

Current through June, 2024
(a) All children and youth have the right to
				  develop their potential to the fullest. Recognizing this right, the department
				  of education accepts the obligation to assist all students to develop their
				  potential and recognizes that this goal can best be accomplished by providing
				  appropriate educational opportunities.
(b) The department further recognizes the
				  wide range of interests, motivations, and talents among students and believes
				  that this diversity must be considered in the design and delivery of
				  educational opportunities. Among these students are those who have demonstrated
				  superior achievement or possess the potential for superior achievement. These
				  students constitute a valuable and irreplaceable human resource because of
				  their potential for making significant contributions to society. It is not
				  possible to measure the loss to society, as well as to themselves, when
				  educational opportunities are not in keeping with the particular needs and
				  abilities of such students.
(c) The
				  department is committed to providing appropriate educational opportunities at
				  each school for its students. The department therefore acknowledges the
				  necessity to identify gifted and talented students in various areas of
				  giftedness and talent in every school and to make available appropriate
				  educational opportunities, insofar as financial and physical resources are
				  available within the department. The purpose of this chapter is to establish
				  the procedures for the identification, programming and placement of gifted and
				  talented students.
