Yes, the county is making a concerted efforts to increase the number of students receiving advanced academic services from historically underrepresented populations, including FARMS students and twice exceptional students. This does NOT mean the county "is taking school placement into consideration" but that they are seeking to provide Young Scholars services to more students. It is also why Dan Storck's amendment to the FY 2014 Budget (barely) passed.
