Well Dottie we made some progress but didn't get the exact answer we were hoping for! Surprisingly enough, his teacher actually brought up the acceleration and suggested we do it in January instead of waiting!! Everyone agreed, but then the principal piped up with some baloney about class size reduction numbers and how moving him would make the school lose money. He essentially said nope, not unless we find the missing money. But he couldn't quantify what that amount would be :-(
They did all agree that he can move to 3rd grade, skipping 2nd next August if we decide to go ahead!
