[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In response to 7:48/53, she also said that some files stop at the local screening committee and are not sent on to the central screening committee. These files could be either parent referrals or in pool kids. But if they don't send it to the central screening committee, they have to notify the parents and the parents have the option of pushing it on through to the central committee. [/quote]

You may wish to refer your AART to the Local Plan for the Gifted, which clearly outlines the referral process and where referrals go. The local screening committee does prepare the GBRS, but cannot "stop" the referral to the central screening committee.

Grades 3-8 Center Program (Level IV)
Schools administer the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNATII) to all first grade students and 
the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) to all second grade students (Attachment I).   Subtest 
scores on the CogAT and the score on the NNATII are used to determine a second grade pool of 
candidates who are automatically screened for Level IV services (Attachment J). In addition, 
students in grades 2–8 may be screened upon referral from parents or legal guardians, teachers, 
professionals, students, peers, self or others. (Attachment K).  Referrals may be submitted in the 
fall if students are new to the county.  All other referrals are due in early February and  the 
deadline is posted on the FCPS web site, and shared through the keep in touch system, a press 
release, and school newsletters.  The local Advanced Academic Program (AAP) screening 
committee at each local school completes the Gifted Behaviors Rating Scale (GBRS) with input 
from the teachers who work with the child.  The Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) 
prepares and submits the completed screening files to the AAP office for division-wide central 
selection committee review. In schools with Local Level IV, the local AAP screening committee 
reviews multiple criteria to determine which students, in addition to center eligible students who 
decide to remain at their local school, will be placed in the local level IV class.
