Well the meeting went as expected. They want her to stay with her "class" for exploratory classes. The principal would be open to letting her take higher core subjects within the building but then what would they do the follow years since they won't let her attend at the high school? I may try and push that next year but have opted not to for this coming year because there would still be no adaptation for pacing. So we are planning on having her bus in the morning and attend band first hour, which is year long. So we will continue all her core classes at home.
They did make a concession and are going to let her take Art all year, second hour, which she will love. They usually do 10 week rotations through exploratory classes but the art teacher sets the projects up where they are very open to choice by the student. They felt that the teacher was wonderful and would be able to adapt things well for her to take it all year. This will also put her in contact with more of the students she might not meet outside of core classes since at least half of the sixth graders will take art sometime in the year.
There will be no problem with her missing 4 weeks right when school starts.
She is going on the trip of a lifetime (I'll mention that in another thread).
