I swear sometimes I want to bang my head against the wall.

The Gifted Coordinator was being candid with you, what that person said is true in most public school districts who often don't have a gifted program at all until starting in likely the third grade and even then extremely limited. While you nor any other parent that frequents this forum doesn't like that answer, at least respect them for their honesty.
