Overview
This bill ensures that students identified as ‘twice exceptional,’ who demonstrate both high academic potential and a disability, are not denied special education and related services solely because of average academic performance. It requires school districts to provide information to parents and guardians about available services for these students. The law defines ‘twice exceptional students’ as those with above-average academic potential and a disability, recognizing that average performance may indicate the impact of the disability.
