I am not sure yet, I sure hope my district understand them. Looks like I am going to be trying, haven't decided yet if we are going to push for a 504 or an IEP till we do testing this summer. My district does have "gifted" IEP's but the only time I've seen the paperwork for that was when my son was in the gifted class in 4-6th grade.
The problem I see with being able to get an 2E IEP, is that from what I remember being told years ago, the "official" cutoff to be qualified as a LD is having at least one subtest show the student to be under the 7% cutoff. But a kid who is gifted could still have major problem if in a sub area was they were significantly lower than how they performed were tested in everything else. But they still might be above that 7% mark and the school might claim that they don't qualify.
