The state's goal for G/T students is to ensure that those students who participate in G/T services demonstrate skills in self-directed learning, thinking, research, and communication. By the 2017-2018 school year, San Felipe Del Rio CISD will initiate a redesigned plan to establish a protocol for services that leads 1^st-12^th grade G/T students to a pathway of depth and complexity beyond the general curriculum. San Felipe Del Rio CISD currently offers G/T and advanced level students multiple opportunities to develop innovative products and sophisticated performances that reflect individuality and creativity and are targeted to audiences outside the typical classroom.
