Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy IEP's?

OP, sadly very few states have gifted IEPs. In most states, kids are legally entitled to FAPE (free appropriate public education). The legal definition of what constitutes FAPE in most states is very low--if your child makes some progress that year then the district has met its burden. Most states give no protection to gifted kids and in those states your child does not have a legal right to make a year's worth of learning progress for a year's worth of class time. It is kind of a dismal situation (at least in the worst districts) and drives many families with gifted kids to homeschool.

Sorry to be a downer. It's definitely the major reason why we homeschool.
