the 97th percentile on a nationally standardized test of
mental ability; and
(b) Academically talented students shall score at or above
the 97th percentile on a test of total reading or a test of
total mathematics from a nationally standardized test battery
or a nationally standardized test of reading or mathematics.
(5) Despite a student's failure to qualify under
subsections (4)(a) and (b) of this rule, districts, by local
policies and procedures, shall identify students who
demonstrate the potential to perform at the 97th percentile.
(6) School districts may identify additional students who
are talented and gifted as defined in ORS 343.395(7)(c), (d),
and (e) as determined by local district policies and
procedures.
