Can you request them to put a goal plan for the following year in writing? My district doesn't do IEP's for gifted either, but this is what they are doing. They are going to include a plan B if the differentiation isn't working that they will be using with my dd. We don't have gifted laws, so legally I don't think it will have any weight, but to me it is their word in writing and will carry some weight b/c they would look bad if they didn't follow through. They also can't pretend like they didn't say something if it is in writing and they signed off on it. That is something they have been doing a lot this year.
