d. Testing Assessments, Licenses, and Materials for Gifted Education (Not to Exceed $905,000)
Summary: Presented by: Mrs. Kiana King, Interim Chief of Student Services, Division of Student Services
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education approve the purchase of assessments, licenses, and materials for the gifted identification process from Riverside Insights, Scholastic Testing Services and NCS Pearson in an amount not to exceed $905,000.
Why: In compliance with the Georgia Department of Education SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38 Education Programs for Gifted Students Evaluation and Eligibility, the use of state approved assessments in DeKalb County School District’s gifted identification process will increase the number of students considered for gifted services thus closing the gap of the underrepresentation of minority, Special Education, English Learners, and/or low socio-economic groups for placement in state funded programs.
Details: The DeKalb County School District will purchase assessments, licenses, and materials to support the academic success of students served through the Division of Student Services in accordance to Board Policy DJE (III.D.3.g).
Financial impact: The total financial impact for SY2026-2027 is not to exceed the amount of $905,000.00. General funds will be used to purchase these resources.
