Yes, this is for 1st grade. The RTI packet she sent me is actually the model Montana uses. It is something that they use, but isn't part of their policy. From what I understand the GT coordinator is trying to get something like this approved as part of their policy. It is just something she is going to use as part of our dd's plan.
I do not think they have any intentions of using any kind of pullout program with her. It is all going to be classroom based instruction. They are just going to group the kids who tested high into her class, but it could be just one other child.
They are being vague at this point on any commitment to how many children it will be and what specific teacher. It is my understanding it will be one of the two who are there, but they don't officially assign teachers before the end of the school year. Not even in cases of IEP's, which surprises me.
I am going to go through with the meeting, but am now starting to lose a lot of my optimism with this as a viable option.
What happens if the board turns our request down?
