I just talked to the special education coordinator again, and ger argument for not having a GIEP is that she doesn't know what to write for a goal. Within the first grade curriculum, he had been receiving enrichment for math and reading, but it was not enough, hence the request to skip him to second grade. She argues that once he is skipped, there is no more need for enrichment. she would agree, however, to reconvene in two months and write a new GIEP if he shows he would need enrichment in another area. In the interim, he would have no GIEP. Sounds a little crazy to me.
