Agreed and for the people who seem concerned about the lower local cut off thing... it isn't going to be something like 115. It will likely be in the 128-131 range that in [b]most schools would have those students parent referred anyway.[/b] [/quote]

The point of local norms is that in some of the poorer schools, parents weren't doing parent referrals for their kids with scores in the 120-131 range.  The school based norms will capture some of those kids and make sure that they're at least reviewed by the central panel.

Exactly. People here seem to think it's going to give some advantage to less qualified students, but all it's doing is ensuring qualified kids get considered regardless of how involved their parents are, which is particularly important for schools that have more parents who don't speak English or who don't have the time to learn about these programs because they're working multiple jobs.

The report on the AAP program actually suggested moving to a blanket lower threshold and then removing the possibility for parent referrals. I can't remember if the report gave a number, but I've seen some districts automatically consider any kids who score 95th percentile. [/quote]
