I unfortunately can not locate any rules of some sort. In the web site, it vaguely says that a teacher can initiate an exit. It doesn't say any grade requirements of any sort and I am scared to ask :-S It's our first year in the gifted program (it starts in 2nd grade here in WA), so we have a lot to learn.

Another thing is that it's our teacher's first year teaching to the gifted kids, so I am sure she has a lot to learn as well...

Will update the thread after our meeting.
