I have a child receiving gifted services at an excellent K-8 school in Hernando County. The County is opening a gifted center and stating that my child is dismissed from gifted unless he moves to the new school.

I am being given the impression by Hernando County that a single specialised center, with no other options for kids who for various reasons want to stay at there current schools, is perfectly normal and acceptable in Florida.

I know Sarasota has a gifted center but still offers gifted services at their zoned elementary & middle schools.

Does anybody have information on wether I am being advised correctly? Are there other Counties with this all or nothing system in place?
