Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 10-76xx
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Guardian: A person legally empowered and charged with the duty of taking care of and managing the property of another person who because of age, intellect, or health, is incapable of managing his (her) own affairs.
(b) Not later than July 1, 2022, each local and regional board of education shall adopt a policy for the equitable identification of gifted and talented students. Such policy shall require the use of multiple methods of identification of gifted and talented students that are in compliance with guidance provided by the Department of Education.
