We got the call from the GT Coordinator. After looking through all his past test scores: MAP from 6th and 7th, CSAP (CO standardized tests), report cards, teacher recommendations, and some other index I didn't recognize, she said she couldn't imagine why he wasn't already classified. So, apparently she sent some paperwork into the district and it should be a done deal. We're to receive a letter confirming everything soon. The part I'm excited about is he will receive counseling meetings a couple times per year to make sure his classes are meeting his needs, talk about over-achiever syndrome, and help with selection of classes for the upcoming year/semester. I guess if no parent speaks up, they decide (maybe for budget reasons?) to leave deserving kids out of the process. Hmmm... I thought the schools were supposed to be kid-advocates for that type of thing.
