Amends existing law to authorize a pilot project wherein children under age 5 who are high-ability learners may begin school at an earlier age.
The purpose of this legislation is to create a pilot project to allow children with highly advanced abilities, as determined by local school districts and test scores, to start kindergarten or first grade at a younger age than previously defined by Idaho Code Section 33-201. This would ensure students are challenged and learning at an appropriate level for their abilities.
