1. The Legislature declares that the primary consideration of the Legislature when enacting legislation regarding the appropriate instruction of profoundly gifted pupils in Nevada is to pursue all suitable means for the promotion of intellectual, literary and scientific improvements to the system of public instruction in a manner that will best serve the interests of all pupils, including profoundly gifted pupils.
2. The Legislature further declares that there are pupils enrolled in the public middle schools, junior high schools and high schools in this State who are so profoundly gifted that their educational needs are not being met by the schools in which they are enrolled, and by participating in an accelerated program of education, these pupils may obtain early admission to university studies. These accelerated programs should be designed to address the different and distinct learning styles and needs of these profoundly gifted pupils.
3. It is the intent of the Legislature that participation in such accelerated programs of education for profoundly gifted pupils be open to all qualified applicants, regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, economic means, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, and that specific criteria for admission into those programs be designed to determine the potential for success of an applicant.
4. It is further the intent of the Legislature to support and encourage the ongoing development of innovative educational programs and tools to improve the educational opportunities of profoundly gifted pupils, regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, economic means, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression and to increase the educational opportunities of pupils who are identified as profoundly gifted, gifted and talented, having special educational needs or being at risk for underachievement.
