Wow. What state is that in? Our school district in CA doesn't care at all about incoming gifted Kindergarteners! I've been fighting for early K for our son for a year and half against a wave of opposition that says, "No one cares that your son is in the 99.5 percentile I.Q. and is almost at a 2nd grade level on his own, he'll be fine in Kindergarten, stop harassing us."
Since your on different paths, I'd say advocate alone.
I'm sorry.
Yes we have things that are very standardized which I'm grateful for. Early entry K is one in our state actually that is pretty easy as long as you jump through their hoops. What I like is that, for the most part, the process is documented and well defined. It feels as fair as it could, I guess.
Good luck...
