Definitly sounds like you are off to a good start! Even if you only have ONE ally on your side to start... that's better than none! With the research backing it, you really can't go wrong. Be prepared to answer questions (I thought the IAS-3 was helpful for that though I did a ton on my own too. I also looked at our state dept. of education to see what their policies were. Being a private school, we don't really follow those but to show the state mandate on accel. policies was also helpful.) I really expecting long drawn out answer, but.... like I said, we've had 3 meetings already, after our initial proposal and plan to meet about every few weeks to make sure we are on path. You really picked a good time to do this because it leaves enough room to get the "required" things in before school is over for summer and bring the teachers on board before they are off for summer as well! Keep us posted and pat yourself on the back for being your child's best advocate
. As the princ. told us.... with all of our research and pretty much laying it all for her and took away all the guess work, we have paved the way not only for our child but for so many in the future! Good for you! Charge forward
