Unfortunately, the district�s GT coordinator indicated that Texas policy does not allow such arrangement for elementary school students and is not an option until DD is in the middle school.
I'm guessing the policy comes from here:

must be offered, it does not seem to prevent subject acceleration in the elementary school.
Does anyone else find it confusing that people would choose to go into the GT field and then direct most of their energy into limiting opportunities for students who are GT?
