[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May 10th is the postmark date. Good luck everyone!

BTW we're considered European American/Asian American mixed family so I doubt we're getting in after reading the report. Glad I didn't spend 400 bucks on a WISC as well. Fingers crossed, I guess.

AAP Report from May 2020: 
An appeals process for placement for gifted services is mandated by Virginia law. In 2018 – 2019,
46% of students screened for Level IV were found ineligible (n=3118). Of those, 19% decided to
appeal the decision (n=587) – 87% of whom were from Asian American or European American
families.

[b]The appeals process also biases the AAP identification process in favor of families that have the time
and means to pursue it. Given that the process mandates that the appeal includes additional
information not considered previously, those that pursue it must have the time, resources, and
motivation to pursue and complete the collection and inclusion of the necessary additional
information. The process also seems to encourage additional test data, obtained at parents’
expense, although AAP staff communicate that additional test data are not necessary for a
successful appeal. This appeals option likely exacerbates disproportional representation in Level IV
services[/quote][/b]

Is the bolded also from the AAP report from 2020?  [/quote]
