Our Identification Committee meets annually to review data on all students, to request additional data as needed, and to identify students eligible for MSAD 75 gifted and talented services. The selection team includes a minimum of three qualified professionals, including but not limited to one administrator, one G/T staff member, and one classroom teacher or other professional educator with appropriate expertise.

The responsibilities of this team are to review the information collected on all students, to focus in on the students who have met the screening criteria, to collect additional information as needed, to select children eligible for gifted and talented services, to oversee the annual review of the selection process, and to ensure that the selection process is equitable.

As dictated by Maine State law, no more than 5% of total enrollment is identified in the areas of General Intellectual Ability and/or Specific Academic Aptitudes.
