In 1996, the Vermont Legislature passed into law the following
definition of Gifted and Talented Children:
(a) "Gifted and talented children" means children identified by
professionally qualified persons who, when compared to others of their age,
experience or environment, exhibit capability of high performance in
intellectual, creative or artistic areas, possess an unusual capacity for
leadership or excel in specific academic fields.
(b) It is the intent of the general assembly that those who provide
educational services to children be encouraged to apply for any available
funding that will help to provide teacher training and other services for the
benefit of gifted and talented children.
(c) Nothing in this section shall create an additional entitlement to
education or other services.
Sec. 1. 16 V.S.A. § 13
