NJ S3645

Prohibits school districts from denying special education evaluations, eligibility determinations, or individualized education programs (IEPs) to twice exceptional students solely based on average academic performance

Defines "twice exceptional students" as those who show potential for above-average academic performance compared to grade-level peers while also having one or more disabilities under federal or state eligibility criteria

Requires school districts to provide information to parents and guardians about available options for obtaining special education and related services for twice exceptional students

Addresses the issue that average performance in gifted students with disabilities may actually be evidence of the disability's impact rather than a reason to deny services

Takes effect immediately upon enactment and supplements Title 18A, chapter 46 of New Jersey Statutes
