That's great news that the ball's in your court! Especially after they came into the meeting with triangle people drawings to show you why your DD shouldn't go to first.
Just a quick note to say another reason for not waiting on the skip is friends. There is more of a chance to find closer peers in 1st, and it's easier to make new friends earlier than later. (And later your DD might be more likely to say no way to a skip if she's got a good friend base.) FWIW, my DS made friends more quickly when he skipped to 2nd, and then even more quickly again when he switched to a GT school mid-year. For him, it was much easier to make friends in groups closer to his intellectual range.
Congrats on your advocacy during the meeting!
