Connecting Dots: Yes, they are saying that despite completing first grade in her current school she would have to go back to first grade because the way she was accelerated does not fall within the new state's law on acceleration. They said if I have an IQ test done and she scores over 130 she will be okay to move into second. I think it comes down to how they are funded. If she is not accelerated according to their laws, they do not receive funding for her.
HK: They said that achievement testing is not enough. The state requires an IQ over 130 or to see an acceleration plan from her current school, which was never done. I feel that if this is a state requirement they should pay for it, but I am leaning toward paying for it myself this summer because of some of the reasons you listed.
