Hello all, I could use your help ...
Background: My ds will begin an intermediate gifted magnet in the fall. We are looking forward to the excitment & apprehensive at the same time. Our public school district is growing with large number a housing developments in the area. As it happens, we have 2 new High Schools (HS) programs starting next year (1 new traditional school - mortor just starting to set & 1 EarlyCollege HS located at nearby Jr collage campus).
We are starting a dialog with the district regarding HS program options that could be avaliable a couple years from now. Having initial discussion & support of our district G/T administrator, myself and several other parent will be meetings with HS principals starting in June.

What specifically should we ask for? Example like:
* accellerated & compacted core courses;
* seminar classes with experts - acedemia, gov & corporate;
* phyolosopy & thinking seminar;
* service education;
* facilitated mentorships & internships.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback! I plan to ask for everything, and continue the dialog over time to secure as much as we can! We have tremendious potential in the local area ... mostly untapped for our students.
Thank you for your time.
