Gifted Count Dr. Jeanene Barnett, CCOSA Education Policy & Research Analyst
Student Counts
Only those students identified as gifted before October 1 become part of the school district’s funding, so it is very important that you have a game plan to ensure a full count of any newly identified students before October 1 to maximize your state dollars. The identification and subsequent service of gifted students is carefully prescribed through Oklahoma Statutes and Oklahoma Administrative Code cited on page 19 of the OAC.
A gifted student receives a 0.34 weight in the Foundation and Salary Incentive Formula.
