Also, does the AART participate in the appeals process? I know that all appeals go through the county, but do AARTs participate in the appeals committee?[/quote]

Here is more info re: the appeals process (page 15 from the Local Plan for the Education of the Gifted):

[quote]The appeals committee reviews all appeal requests. Parents/guardians of students 
not selected for the Level IV program who wish to appeal, must complete an Appeal 
form (Attachment BB) according to the scheduled deadline. All screening files 
receive an in-depth data review by the Central Selection Committee and the 
Oversight Committee. Their decision is based on currently available information. 
Therefore, appeals must contain new information (not in the original screening file). 
The appeals committee reviews the original screening file as well as the new 
information. This may include student work samples (stories, projects, or artwork), 
awards, certificates, honors, and/or reports of academic extracurricular activities, 
and letters from parents or other adults who know of the child’s advanced abilities. 
Further, parents/guardians may elect to obtain additional, optional testing. FCPS 
agrees to honor and accept these assessments. Individual intelligence testing from a 
private licensed psychologist must be accompanied by a copy of the psychologist’s 
state license. Testing results from George Mason University testing services and 
other universities may also be submitted. The appeals committee consists of the 
Advanced Academic coordinator, Advanced Academic Program specialists, EL
specialists, and school psychologists. The parents and guardians are notified of the 
decision by mail (Attachments CC - EE). [/quote]
