Lee County Schools AIG Plan
2014 - 2015
State Definition of AIG Students, Article 9B (N.C.G.S. § 115C-150.5)Academically or intellectually gifted (AIG) students perform or show the potential to perform at substantially high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experiences or environment. Academically or intellectually gifted students exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or in both the intellectual areas and specific academic fields. Academically or intellectually gifted students require differentiated educational services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program. Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor.
In North Carolina, state legislation mandates that public schools identify and serve academically or intellectually gifted (AIG) K-12 students. Each LEA determines how to identify and serve its own AIG student population. This honors local context and supports each LEA to do what is best for its own AIG student population. LEAs must adhere to state legislation, which guides LEAs and defines academically or intellectually gifted students (see below), and also use the NC AIG Program Standards, adopted July 2009, as a guide in the development of local AIG programs. The SBE approved NC AIG Program Standards provides a statewide framework for quality programming, while honoring local context.
An LEA's policies and practices regarding its local AIG program are developed through the writing of a local AIG plan. This AIG plan is approved by the local board of education and submitted to State Board of Education/DPI for comment. DPI assists LEAs with their local AIG program and plan but does not approve local plans. Per state legislation, AIG plans must be revised every three years by the LEA. In 2009-10, LEAs revised their local AIG plans and programs with the guidance of DPI. Current local AIG plans will be revised and resubmitted in July 2013.

Each year the School AIG Team should review the progress of each student based on the performance assessment for the differentiated service options as outlined in the measurable objectives aligned with the core curriculum. Usually, annual reviews will occur at the end of the school year. However, reviews may be conducted as needs arise for intervention and IDEP consideration. If a Differentiated Education Plan (DEP) is not meeting the needs of a student and a more specific individual plan is needed, an Individual Differentiated Education Plan (IDEP) should be developed to support student growth. The purpose of the Annual Review is not to re-evaluate the student by taking him/her through the entire identification process. If the student is performing satisfactorily, complete the AIG 17 Yearly Performance Review of Progress indicating services to be continued and notify parents.
