@indigo:
Thank you for all of the info!! I should have mentioned that we're in NY, so no mandate to provide for gifted children. As for our district--no policies on gifted children; only an accelerated program that begins in the 8th grade. In the meantime, I will check out the links.
@aeh:
Yes, I probably should have mentioned that too -- not a whole grade acceleration. Right now we're just looking for math and science. Thanks for the feedback we have a similar set-up-- the ms is just a field away from the school he is in now. But like you said, I don't think he would (or should) walk there by himself.
