Abstract: The extent to which gifted and talented students participated in Minnesota's Open Enrollment Option was investigated via a survey of 26 gifted students who transferred to nonresident schools and comparison of results with those of a survey of 60 students without special needs. Results indicated that academic and educational concerns were some of the main reasons that prompted gifted students to transfer. Specific concerns were provision of more advanced courses, more course variety, better teachers, and stronger academic reputation. The most valuable sources of information about the open enrollment option were the mass media and the school principal. Parents of students with special talents moderately increased their involvement at their chosen school compared to their former school. Most parents expressed satisfaction with the option, though many experienced transportation problems. (Contains 23 references.) (JDD)
