The principal is really trying hard to get a good gifted program going on at her school because a Senator lives in the town and stops in to check on things. They have already advanced several students and made lots of other accomodations. I went in and talked with her specifically asking her what her knowledge of gifted children was. That was when she told me about her MA Degree from St. Kate's in MN, I believe. She was very knowledgeable about the characteristics. I do not live in her district so would she get $$ for my son enrolling, even PT?
Deeds not words - it sounds good so far.
I'd ask to speak to some parents of accelerated kids. The fact she is trying to "rock soup" you in means she is sensitive to your fears.
