It might help your cause to do the Iowa Acceleration Scales prior to your meeting. It will identify whether or not your child is a good candidate for skipping. It takes the guess work out of the process.
The article that I gave to the school that seemed to have the most impact was "Vulnerabilities of highly gifted children" written by W. Roedell. It puts aside the myths surrounding social/emotional development in kids like ours.
Good Luck!
