• Students who have applied for and been admitted to the joint recruitment assessment for arts talented classes in the same category within this city and have passed the arts talented giftedness assessment must choose either the "Arts Talented Class" or the "Special Education Program" for placement in the same category. They cannot be enrolled in both (i.e., students identified as gifted in Fine Arts who choose to attend the Arts Talented Fine Arts Class cannot apply for the Special Education Program; if they choose the Special Education Program, they cannot attend the Arts Talented Fine Arts Class).
