There are no longer going to be challenge classes at all? But he is being offered pre-algebra based on testing? Just getting it clear because a lot of the replies seem to be saying put the challenge classes on his IEP.

I don't know - it is similar to the abrupt cessation of maths streaming just when my son was eligible. I haven't tried to change it because I know the principal has been convinced that research supports his decision and I am not going to change his beliefs. It really depends on why the decision was made and who by. It may be possible to change it if you make a big fuss BUT probably only the 25% who benefit directly will support you.

I really sympathise.
