The superintendent, under policies adopted by the school board, shall establish a process for the identification of children for the gifted and talented program for each school in the school administrative unit. Each school unit shall conduct an initial screening and, thereafter, an annual review of the K-12 school population to ensure that all children have an equal opportunity to be considered for selection and placement in the gifted and talented program. Instruments and procedures used in the identification process shall be as non-discriminatory as possible with respect to race, cultural or economic background, religion, national origin, sex, or handicapping condition.
