[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the quick responses. DD has severe anxiety when it comes to new situations and people. We submitted a letter from her therapist, pediatrician and we wrote a letter. The application was still denied.

We are going to appeal but we didn't mention the possibility of her moving twice in 2 years. She has scored in the 99th percentile for every MAP-P test she's taken and is reading on an "N" benchmark. I know that the designation of gifted isn't linked to CES acceptance but I thought it may be a factor.

Any insight on how we get them to understand the severity of her issues on appeal? I'm baffled that the letters from legit MD and PhDs didn't sway them. [/quote]

My kid going into 2nd grade is reading at Level M and I would not say she is gifted. She is bright but not gifted. She is a year younger than your kid and only one letter behind, so I doubt your kid is going to a CES.

You know homeless and foster kids change schools repeatedly right? [b]Anxiety or no anxiety, no one cares about them[/b].[/quote]

Actually, homeless kids are definitely entitled to remain in the same school or to transfer to a school they choose. I don’t know about foster kids. I’ve had some leave abruptly when they switch placements. Others stayed.[/quote]
