What specifically are the "extras" that you DD doesn't want to give up? Special classes like electives? Or extra curriculars? Since you pay taxes for school in your state, I would think your daughter would be entitled to the same access as any other student. I know it is district policy, but policies can change, and I think it is a good sign that the principal wants to meet with you. You definitely do not want the library helper option and you don't want your daughter in a situation where they are just throwing more stuff at her instead of what is simply appropriately challenging. Good luck. I hope they can work something out for you.
