In a reversal from the previous administration, Mayor Eric Adams says he's not only keeping the controversial gifted and talented program but expanding it in NYC public schools.
There will be two possible entry points into the program for elementary students--kindergarten and third grade. The city is adding a 100 kindergarten seats and 1,000 third grade seats.
Acceptance into these programs won’t be based on a single test. For 3rd graders, the determination will come from academic scores from all core subject areas. For pre-K, teachers will identify students and invite them to apply. City public school parent Susie Gould thinks it's a promising new system.
