Crisc,
I also think you may have trouble using SD unless their is a GT specialist in the room. Most teachers think EVERYONE who is 6/7 has something to learn from the 1st grade curriculum no matter how bright they are blah blah blah. So 3SD's or not they think your amazing little boy belongs there. You need to figure out if there an option available within the system that can meet his needs. Somehow I doubt though it seems that many people on this board get it to work. We have enough problems with my DD7 and she is not even close to where your little boy is. We even have an established and very well respected GT program so I think you should brace yourself for a difficult road ahead but not impossible. Try to keep a good attitude and assume the best of people. In the end it is likely that the teacher, principal etc want the best for your son they just don't know what that is yet.
best wishes and hugs to you!
