Yes, special exemption. My understanding, the school got the charter early on. Once people figured out that it involved IQ testing, heads exploded. I think there was a court case. The resolution was that the school remains, but there will never be another one like it in NC.

They don't ask about IEP status, but it is pretty clear from DS's scatter that he has LDs. I was also asking for them to use his GAI, not the FSIQ, which is the norm, for entrance due to his LD status.
