If this is factually correct, it would be a first, so far as I can tell. I mean, I've heard of schools UNWILLING to do it, and I've heard of districts that have an UNofficial reluctance to do it... but a specific PROHIBITION? Not that I've seen.

I'd also be thinking over your "Plan B" and "C" here. That is, if they ARE willing to consider radical acceleration, but not subject acceleration-- and, by the way-- what exactly do you mean by "subject acceleration" and if it isn't accomplished with in-class differentiation, then-- truly curious-- why is a series of pullouts during each day preferable to moving her into a classroom where she spends most of her time with older children?
