Our district has kids take a cognitive test and they don't notify parents of test scores or gifted id for several months. I'm not sure what the big deal is, since all they do is plug scores into a computer system anyway. But everything is so dysfunctional and disorganized. DD messed up her CogAT test (she left half of it blank) and her CogAT bore no resemblance to her WISC IV scores obtained privately, so I had to send about 10 different emails to various people in administration and they all said "I don't know, talk to X." By the end of it, everyone hated me (but I did get her CogAT score finally spoiled and the WISC IV entered instead). There seems to be very little accountability for people in school district jobs. They do a good job and do things in a timely fashion if/when they feel like it. Some people are wonderful, but I have come across so many people who can't be bothered. Good luck--I hope you get it sorted out soon.
