We have had a few conversations in the past about the top notch school districts and how sometimes they are not the best fit for HG+ kids. Many kids in these districts are gifted, but moderately gifted and the district seems to think what works for the masses of their gifted kids works for all which is just not the case. They tend to be inflexible and are harder to advocate with.
Your state is a mandatory gifted state but does not have allocated funding. So there are laws to pull from ... a positive for your case.
"The Maryland Coalition for Gifted and Talented Education (MCGATE) is a statewide parent/professional advocacy group. Membership in MCGATE is open to Maryland's local county advocacy groups, individual parents, students, educators, administrators, concerned citizens, and businesses. Work is done on the national, state, and local levels and with other educational associations to build support for gifted children in Maryland."
http://www.mcgate.org/I would definitely contact this organization and talk to them. They classify themselves as a gifted advocacy group so it would be a good place to start.
Hope that helps!
