Mississippi Administrative Code
Title 7 - Education K-12
Part 10 - Regulations for the Gifted Education Programs in Mississippi
OUT-OF-STATE GIFTED ELIGIBILITIES

Each state has a unique set of eligibility criteria for placement in a gifted program. Hence, a student moving to Mississippi with a gifted eligibility from another state must satisfy Mississippi eligibility criteria before being considered for placement in the gifted program. The eligibility ruling from another state may be used to initiate the referral process in Mississippi. There is no temporary placement in the gifted program while the student goes through the eligibility process within the local district.
