Haw. Code R. § 8-51-1 - Purpose
(a) All children and youth have the right to
develop their potential to the fullest. Recognizing this right, the department
of education accepts the obligation to assist all students to develop their
potential and recognizes that this goal can best be accomplished by providing
appropriate educational opportunities.
(b) The department further recognizes the
wide range of interests, motivations, and talents among students and believes
that this diversity must be considered in the design and delivery of
educational opportunities. Among these students are those who have demonstrated
superior achievement or possess the potential for superior achievement. These
students constitute a valuable and irreplaceable human resource because of
their potential for making significant contributions to society. It is not
possible to measure the loss to society, as well as to themselves, when
educational opportunities are not in keeping with the particular needs and
abilities of such students.
(c) The
department is committed to providing appropriate educational opportunities at
each school for its students. The department therefore acknowledges the
necessity to identify gifted and talented students in various areas of
giftedness and talent in every school and to make available appropriate
educational opportunities, insofar as financial and physical resources are
available within the department. The purpose of this chapter is to establish
the procedures for the identification, programming and placement of gifted and
talented students.
