Is the classroom teacher the best source of information for school board policies on admissibility of outside tests?

Similarly, the classroom teacher may not be the best source of information regarding any special scoring/accommodation for the gifted identification test, and how that may indicate any potential accommodation would be needed in the classroom; In some schools that may be the school psych? Similar with decisions on 2e/LD identification?

I mention this proactively to possibly avoid a situation of someone being put on the spot, and you feeling uncomfortable as a parent if your questions are misdirected and therefore may seem to take more "push" from you than you might think is normal or necessary, to receive answers.

Did you mention working in a school? How would these matters be handled there? Are there some you might tap in your school for background information? Might your daughter transfer to your school as one option?

It sounds like she is functioning well, her ADHD is not a factor when she is taking appropriate meds?
