That makes sense. I think what I'm finding is it's not easy to find such information and like pulling teeth to figure out who knows it, and I hate being pushy. Procedural info is not online (I was referencing a few nearby districts to get an idea of area policies). The GT teacher doesn't make the decisions, the teacher has never been asked, and all the reading I do here and elsewhere says to go into a meeting with a principal loaded with documentation and supporting data, but I can't even figure out what they will accept as documentation (ie. if they'll wave off outside IQ & achievement testing) without meeting with someone (not sure who!) first. I just wish it were easier. :-) (Don't we all.)
I think you (or we?) need more detail re what "two years ahead" means in your school district.
