I think that this is a terrific question. I have very strong ideas about this.

1) Any child who wants to "go up a level" for single subject acceleration should be allowed to...this costs the school nothing within the building, but can get expensive if the child needs to go off-campus. I don't have a firm stand on who should pay for transport, but would love to see groups of parents organize to handle it with insurance provided by the district.

2) Any parent who wants a grade skip or early enterance, and has the Iowa Acceleration Scale scores to back it up, should get one, no questions asked.

These are simple goals, clear and easy to accomplish. I think that if the child lead, the schools will follow.
