Reading thru these posts is so overwhelming - in a good way! Thank you to everyone for your insight & all the info - and especially the encouraging words. Who would have thought that posting on a message board could bring forth such great results? Perhaps I should try it more often! Importantly, I plan to figure out a way to discuss DS2's GAI with the school psych because, thanks to Dottie's observance, it appears his GAI is actually above the potential cut-off for next year. That alone is a huge saving grace. I will post a follow-up to let everyone know what I find out re: GAI. I do understand that the psych is overworked between multiple schools, and mistakes can happen, but I am hopeful that the error (assuming there is one) can be fixed so DS is not at risk of being removed from the GT program. I suppose I would encourage everyone to "double-check the math" - but I had no idea how to do that until now.
