Welcome!
You've received great advice already, including becoming familiar with your local laws and policies.
how long do we give them to get their act together and provide him with what he needs?
It may be less a question of time span, than of following a process for advocacy.
Have you seen the
Guidebook on the Davidson Database?
You may have read this elsewhere on the forums... More advocacy tips:
- In this
recent thread, several posts discuss reasons to not use the word "bored" when advocating.
- While in general there is good and bad in everything, a focus on negativity and disappointment may be seen as

- Focus on the positive, on the ideas set forth in the law and in school policies, and how the school can implement these to help meet your child's needs for intellectual peers and an appropriate level of academic challenge and pacing.
Wishing you all the best with your child's educational journey!
