[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else's school have their local committee assign the GBRS to in pool candidates first, before referrals are even due, and then the referrals only after they get referred?  Seems like with this method, referred students already have bias against them since the teachers know they didn't make the pool.[/quote]

This is the methodology outlined for schools by the AAP office.  They do the in pool kids once they know who they are (late January), then they do the referrals after all the referrals come in by the Feb 8th date.  They do it like this every year.

Here is the link which is on boarddocs.  The pool kids GBRS are done by 2/8 and the referral kids are done by 3/1.  All of the teachers know the scores when they come out and also who is in the pool in January.  So I don't think the timing makes any bias.  Probably the scores speak for themselves.
