[quote=Anonymous]Our rising 3rd grader was recently identified as gifted. We are moving soon and she will have to change elementary schools. We applied for a COSA but were denied. However, we didn't spell out that one of the reasons we were asking for a COSA was because her old school has an in-house center for enrichment which means if she is accepted for the gifted and talented (or whatever it's called now) program, she would continue in 4th and 5th at that school.

However, her new school is not an in house center so she would be bused to a different school. That means new school for 3rd and then another new school for 4th and 5th. That's crazy for a kid who already doesn't do well with change. I know we are relying on her acceptance into the gifted program as a factor for that worst case scenario but the child has consistently scored well on all of those tests she takes and is generally a year ahead in her studies.

So in our appeal, do we spell that out? Do we list that we don't want her to change schools twice in 2 years? Or would that be frowned upon?

Thank you for any insight - sorry if I've been unclear. [/quote]
