I do not think they will take anything without a huge fight. And that's fine -- I am not doing this for them, I am doing it for me.
They want to do it when they want to do it, and that's OK. In the meantime, she's gotten services for 2 years under the caveat of "being observed" so that's OK, too. But after 2-3 years of trying to make sure her needs are met, I NEED to know if I need to keep pushing for this. Our school's cut off is 133 for gifted. It is a highly-competitive district with lots of bright kids. So if she doesn't test that high then I can relax a bit. If she does then I'll keep on keeping on. But I am tired...and I am tired of waiting on the school. I believe knowledge is power and I want to know.
