The new program will do away with a test given to 4-year-olds before they enter kindergarten to identify 'gifted and talented' students, and instead implement an accelerated instructional model that will serve all approximately 65,000 kindergartners
City officials say the new policy will allow all rising kindergarteners to have access to accelerated learning, in what the Mayor says will provide an equitable model allowing children to"reach their full potential.
Earlier this year, students and advocates filed a lawsuit against state and city defendants that"challenged the racial hierarchies in public education and asserting their right under the New York State Constitution to an education that identifies and dismantles racism."What happens nextAdmission to the program was based on a test score and availability of seats in the program, and not every child that scored high enough received an offer, the DOE explained.
