[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old post but would really like a copy of the appeal letter. My email is phlam811@gmail.com. Would really appreciate it![/quote]

Most people don’t appeal because it’s a discretionary decision and the standard for success is so high. Also by the time you get through the process your kid is kindergarten age.

If you feel really strong about starting kindergarten this year, you can try a private school. But even then unless you do K and first there is no guarantee that your child will be in the grade where you want them.

You can’t google appeal decisions on early entry to kindergarten in MC. I never found any where the parents won. But this was an issue for us over a decade ago. [/quote]

It's up to the school and schools are allowed wide leeway. They could deny your child who is academically ready because the class sizes could be impacted or because they said were too slow to get in line which could indicate lack of maturity. This is all part of the decision making and it is really kind of pointless to appeal. They could literally point to any reason and it would be considered reasonable.[/quote]
