The EXPO Placement Committee will have the option of reviewing any student’s profile that needs special consideration for program placement.  Parents will then be informed.

Denton ISD will make every effort to assess all students in languages they understand or with non-verbal tests.  All populations of the district have access to assessment, and if identified, services are offered as part of the program for gifted and talented students.
