I've actually printed the application for the DYS program and am taking it with me to school Friday for our meeting. I am going to still suggest we change him to a different classroom for the rest of this year or take class part of the day with 3rd graders to stimulate him more and challenge him (and get him out of the environment I don't want him in)

It should be interesting...I hate meeting with teachers in a group- I feel like they try to gang up on you. However, I'm not a pushover at all and they will figure it out quickly if they haven't by now.

thank you everyone for your suggestions and for sharing your personal experiences!
